Objects, Types, Messages, Channels and Nodes

The thinking is like this:
Object - basic nugget of structure
Type - the introspection into an object (meta-object perhaps) says what Messages an Object recognises.
Message - a 'prod' to an object
Channel - a route for a message to get to an object
Node - martialling for messages and channels, container of objects, security

As a base for a programming language, there's too much stuff here for my liking! Also, what comes first? What's the basis of the language? Objects are the popular choice of course, but you need the other stuff.. I guess we haven't even started with any basic Types yet either, like String, Numbers, etc..

hmm..
