About Erlang memory model : The answer is that Erlang has two different memory models, because it has two paradigms.
Inside an Actor, you are running whatever you want. That sequential part of erlang has a graph memory model, but you could write it in any other language and model, as soon as you write an Actor.
Outside an Actor, you are in the non graph society of actors. And this one is closer to general system architecture, and is rarely talked about. Which probably explain why it is rare to find a memory model of it.
