        I’d call that a file loaded to memory

          Most files are loaded to memory in order to make any kind of use out of them. I.e. read/write operations.

            That’s true! I supposed it would be more precise to say that all processes are files loaded to memory, but not all files loaded to memory are processes. Sort of like the whole arachnids / spiders situation.

        Why not? Represented in /proc? exec() and fam? Read and write to it?

        If you can open it in Vim, it’s a file.

          You can open me in Vim, Greg. Am I a file?

      Files are just streams. Everything is just a stream, in real life too.
