Message Passing
- Distributed software — the actor model, microservices over message buses, MPI between HPC nodes, network protocols, event-driven architectures.
  This sourceDefines the actor model—autonomous private-state actors interacting solely via asynchronous addressed messages to per-actor mailboxes, with no shared memory; the canonical formalism and a software-domain specialization of the substrate-neutral pattern.
  
  Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
  
  Hewitt et al. establish the actor model (message-sending actors, parallel processors) but say nothing about microservices, message buses, MPI, network protocols or event-driven architectures.
  
  “Our formalism shows how all of the modes of behavior can be defined in terms of one kind of behavior: sending messages to actors.”

Verification¶

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
