The Actors Abstraction does not require specification of

computer boundaries.

Unless I’m missing something this is exactly what I was saying? I’m open to the possibility I’m missing something, but my understanding is that Actor boundaries are messenger boundaries and they can be remote, or local processes, or event loop routines, or plain local functions with no real concurrency. The abstraction/model only enforces that communication between them is consistent no matter the actor’s environment.
