Either that's easy, or I don't understand it at all.

Communication is the pickled state we transmit between actors. It is
essentially 'data' with no 'behavior.' Thus, it matches a hypermedia
system. It is essentially stateless.

Life, of course, is about behavior (reproduction & growth being the
classical definition). That is why it needs to be modeled by object
systems (or is that vice versa).

Bosons and Fermions, if you will.
