=== Key Concepts === The actor model is built upon several key concepts: ==== Actors ==== Actors are the fundamental units of computation in the actor model. Each actor has its private internal state, which can only be accessed by the actor itself. The state can be modified by processing messages received from other actors. ==== Message Passing ==== Communication between actors in the actor model is based on message passing. Actors send messages to other actors, which are then queued in the receiving actor's mailbox. The receiving actor can process these messages one at a time, in the order it receives them. ==== Mailbox ==== The mailbox is a queue that holds the messages sent to an actor. Messages are processed in the order they arrive, ensuring a sequential and deterministic execution. ==== Actor Reference ==== Each actor has a unique identifier known as its actor reference. This reference is used to send messages to specific actors or to create new actors.
