I clearly don't have a strong enough mathematical background to comprehend Category Theory. Hewitt's comments do make sense to me, and reinforce the notion that "ownership" of the data (storage) associated with a message is transferred between a sending actor and a receiving actor (both persistent

Of possible interest to Category Theory buffs: John Baez and Mike Stay have a new paper entitled: Physics, Topology, Logic and Computation: A Rosetta Stone at: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/rosetta.pdf In the subsequent discussion at the N-Category Cafe at: http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/catego
