Ah yes, we thread on the territory of word definition and difference in 
interpretation. Any argument is doomed to fail if not agreed or at least 
taken in perspective of the terminology used by users.

I could be (well it is quite likely) wrong in my interpretation of the 
terminology, but here goes it anyway:

Machine Code:
Whatever the machine executes, it could be that the CPU uses an 
abstraction of microcode to do this but from the perspective of the 
user, this is all done in the same 'black box'

Compiling:
Translate words/symbols/mnemonics to machine code, which than can be 
either loaded, linked and executed by an OS or read and executed by the 
BIOS.

Interpreted:
Instructions which can be fed to a previous compiled program that is 
able to dynamically change its execution and flow without the need to 
recompile itself.
