Yes. I do believe this would scale in interesting ways for Cuis: first
to handle multi-window apps (one actor/image/process per window), and
then large scale distributed processing (by applying an appropriate
model of computation such as a dataflow, or chemical programming).

At the same time, you sidestep the difficulties linked with true
threading in Cog and Cuis.
