 ``tractor`` is a `structured concurrency`_ (SC), multi-processing_ runtime built on trio_.
 
 Fundamentally, ``tractor`` provides parallelism via
-``trio``-"*actors*": independent Python *processes* (currently
-*non-shared-memory threads*) which schedule ``trio`` tasks that
-maintain SC *end-to-end* inside a *distributed supervision tree*.

 Cross-process (and thus cross-host) SC is accomplished through the

 We believe the system adheres to the `3 axioms`_ of an "`actor model`_"
 but likely **does not** look like what **you** probably *think* an "actor
