@clacke @natecull Technically, the term "actor model" [0] refers to a quite abstract model (some abstract actors sending around some abstract messages, and also creating new actors). In this sense, it is not less abstract than pure functional programming.
In general, defining whether something is more abstract than something else is quite difficult and usually requires setting up an abstract basis, which is, again, an abstraction.
