Logical-to-Physical Mapping Intuition

⚠️ Added for clarity (not directly from source)

  • - Logical address is what process thinks; physical address is where data really is in RAM.
  • - Base register gives process start location in RAM.
  • - Physical = Base + Logical (after bounds check via Limit).
  • - Visual explanation: You give seat number in your row (logical), usher maps row start + seat offset (physical).
