=== The Actor Model and Supervision Trees === Elixir is built on top of the Actor Model, which is a mathematical model used to build concurrent and distributed systems. In Elixir, processes act as lightweight actors that communicate through message passing. This model allows for isolation, concurrency, and fault-tolerance. One of the key features that enables fault-tolerance in Elixir is the concept of '''Supervision Trees'''. Supervision trees provide a structured way to organize and manage processes in a fault-tolerant manner. Parent processes supervise and control the lifecycle of their child processes, allowing them to restart or terminate in case of failures.
