An interactive concept flow for a process is more than a program file, from its assumptions through the main operation and boundary checks.
trace / request.md
readyA program file is a persistent description of code and data; a process is a running instance with execution state and an address space. The operating system gives a process a virtual view of memory, while hardware and the kernel translate that view to physical resources under protection rules.
Use the stages in order to explain a process is more than a program file. Each stage makes one assumption visible: what the operation promises, what representation it uses, how state changes, which boundary can invalidate a shortcut, and what evidence confirms the result.
For a worked explanation, continue to the topic article and execution trace.
