• nunet actor send: Sends a constructed message to an actor.

• nunet actor invoke: Invokes a behavior in an actor and returns the result.

• nunet actor broadcast: Broadcasts a message to a topic, potentially reaching multiple actors.

• nunet actor cmd: Invokes a predefined public behavior on an actor.
