There Are No Things. [0] ... only actions and properties. Everything is an actor [1].

In his Turing lecture, Robin Milner wrote [2]:

  Now, the pure lambda-calculus is built with just two 
  kinds of thing: terms and variables. Can we achieve 
  the same economy for a process calculus? Carl Hewitt, 
  with his Actors model, responded to this challenge 
  long ago; he declared that a value, an operator on 
  values, and a process should all be the same kind of 
  thing: an Actor.

  This goal impressed me, because it implies the 
  homogeneity and completeness of expression ... But it 
  was long before I could see how to attain the goal in 
  terms of an algebraic calculus...

  So, in the spirit of Hewitt, our first step is to 
  demand that all things denoted by terms or accessed by 
  names--values, registers, operators, processes, 
  objects--are all of the same kind of thing; they 
  should all be processes.

And now today Hewitt's elusive true mythical Actor model may have finally been realized and embodied in a language called Pony [3].
