Every so often when thinking about a system I find I need a default model to go back to. Like when a system seems to be complex or someone is claiming that it has some new property that makes it exceptional or whatever. It's probably possible to pick a few different models but I find the actor model usually covers it. e.g. "Well when you really look at it, it's just a bunch of actors sending messages to each other's addresses/mailboxes"
