 OSs roughly define the possibility space for applications that run on them. There are basic traits in terms of performance, appearance, speed, machine memory usage—to name a few—that applications running on a particular OS share and must respect to work on that platform. For example, iOS and Android allow for touch interfaces, while earlier smartphones (like the [Blackberry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry) or [Palm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm,_Inc.)) relied on styluses or keyboard entry. Even today, iOS and Android apps have different looks, feels and performance characteristics. Applications are coded for one (or possibly multiple) of these platforms, drawing on the processes built into the OS to determine what their application can and cannot do, what it has to build bespoke and what it can rely on underlying processes for.
 
-Boundaries are rarely sharp. While [Macintosh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_(computer)) was the first mass-market computer with a graphical user interface ([GUI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface)) OS, earlier computers with a command-line interface sometimes had programs that included elements like a GUI. Similarly, while virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets (see our chapter on [Immersive Shared Reality](https://www.plurality.net/v/chapters/5-2/eng/?mode=dark) below) are much more effective today, there are some VR and AR experiences that can run on a smartphone, properly worn on the head. Furthermore, while OS designers try to include security protocols that defend against application behaviors that violate or threaten the integrity of the underlying OS, they can never hope to avoid them entirely.[^WorldEnds] Many, perhaps most, computer "viruses" are precise examples of such violations. OSs thus define the normal behavior of applications on their system, providing tools applications can harness and reasonable expectations they can have about other applications, defining the terrain of the easily possible.
