rather than a one-size-fits-all VM capable of anything, a number of VMs with various hardware limitations and capabilities that target a specific problem space. (hypothetically, needs further consideration:) an 8-bit VM for processing text, a 32-bit VM for processing images, and a 64-bit VM for scientific audio analysis. The computer the user assembles from these is only as complicated as their problem space. 3 comments

the idea I'm getting at has less to do with any specific implementation and more about the lens through which implementation of software with a target host OS is perceived. imagining your implementation not as a single piece of software but as a set of constraints and implementation details... as an agnostic set of instructions that can be easily replicated under arbitrary conditions. the blueprints to a shovel and not a shovel the rules to a game that the world can play, not a game

a document which provides implementation details or a self-documenting implementation is more valuable than an implementation |

all of the aforementioned are far from rigorous explorations of solutions. treat the above with a grain of salt.
