We are stuck in loop of defining each term by referencing another, explaining asynchronous by leaning on concurrent and concurrent by leaning on non-blocking until our mental model is nothing but a blur. In this blog post, we will aim to think above the code and use a minimal model of computation to accurately and concisely define and delineate
