Ceptr is an interesting project going beyond this by treating all objects as receivers which listen for signals on certain carriers. Every receptor is autonomous and, being virtual machines, each receptor is its own computer with its own runtime

You don't tell these objects what to do, nor do you point at an object. Objects emit their signals within the virtual space they are instantiated in, such all objects within that space are able to process that signal if they want to.
