# Base Object and Actor Backend

Hero is a program that runs scripts in contexts on behalf of a peer. Hero aims to support a language sufficient to support all of one's digital actions. As such, hero can become a tool of digital sovereignty, allowing people and groups to own their own structured data and functionality to act on it.

## Core

In its core, a [supervisor](#supervisor) dispatches jobs to execute scripts to [actors](#actor) over redis. Actors spawn appropriate engine instances to execute scripts within the defined [confines]() of the job.

### [Supervisor](./core/supervisor)

Component responsible for distributing jobs to actors over Redis. 

### [Job](./core/job)

A unit of work that executes a Rhai or Hero script. 

### [Actor](./core/actor)

An entity that processes jobs dispatched by the supervisor.

## Interfaces

The backend supports an OpenRPC interface over Websocket and Unix sockets, and a wasm app interface for simple debugging logging etc.
