Great to see further progress on CHERI!

See the following for theoretical foundations for the work:

Your research on actor-based programming models has nothing to do with C/C++ spatial and temporal memory safety.

[ProfHewitt]

Foundation is about rigorously specifying the general Laws of Locality for Actor systems that CHERI implements.

[jrtc27]

CHERI is not an actor system. It is a capability system aimed at memory protection. It can be used, like any other architecture, as a basis upon which to build an actor-based framework/system, but it is no more of an actor system than, say, x86. The concepts are deeply rooted in the capability system literature.

[ProfHewitt]

ActorsTheory serves as the rigorous mathematical foundations of capability systems.
