I think when GP said "full actor system" they meant distributed actors. Of course this will mean the actors have state and message passing is nondeterministic. It's a network, afterall.

I think there is still some confusion since you suggest fork/join but that's only for threads and won't work over a network.

Map-reduce is fork-join and runs just fine over a network.
