    <glossdef>
      <para>
        An architecture whereby programs do not exist
        in flat memory ranges, but must request a hierarchy
        of allocated memory ranges from the operating system.
        The pointers to these ranges are called capabilities.
      </para>

      <para>
        This design makes it impossible for a program to access
        memory that is not pointed to by one of the
        capabilities granted to the program.
      </para>
