Actor: a single asynchronous 'thread of execution' with the ability to handle events that were directed to its parent system from outside and spawn child actors
Task: a single asynchronous 'thread of execution' with no inbound data connections
Resource: Reference counted, atomic, shared data. Defined at a runtime scope or an actor/system.
Pool: A group of actors of the same type which can be queried for a handle based on some metric
