When an OS implements virtual memory, [processes](./Processes.md) in
[user space](./User_Space.md) cannot directly read or write to the actual
[user space](./User_Space.md) cannot directly read or write to the physical

[kernel](./The_kernel.md) translates these into the actual operations against

Furthermore the kernel itself utilises virtual memory. The difference with
kernel virtual memory is that it has a different range of virtual addresses to
work with than user space virtual memory.
## Virtual memory and the kernel
Also, unlike user address space, the kernel has access to everything running in
kernel address space. Processes in user address space are partitioned from each
other with separate address spaces that cannot interact.

// Next: the kernel also uses virtual memory however isn't also responsible for
the appportioning of virtual memory. Confused.
