Actors

An actor is an object that has: (1) an input connector, (2) an input queue, (3) an output connector, (4) a function that transforms input messages into output messages.

Actors can be connected to one another by connecting their input/output connectors to one another. Each actor can be connected to an arbitrary number of inputs and/or outputs.
