I would say that 0MQ is an layer on top of actor model. Actor model allows you to send a message to anyone at any time. 0MQ restricts your freedom in what you can send to whom and when. You have to comply with semantics of the messaging pattern you are using. This restriction is meant to impose scalable designs on you and prevent you from shooting yourself into the foot but using ad hoc unscalable patterns. That, AFAICS, prevents you from implementing generic actor library on top of 0MQ.
