## Files and Processes
-Nix provides a mapping between its store model and the [Unix paradigm](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_is_a_file) that governs the interplay of [files and processes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor).

+Nix maps between its store model and the [Unix paradigm][unix-paradigm] of [files and processes][file-descriptor], by encoding immutable store objects and opaque identifiers as file system primitives: files and directories, and paths.
That allows processes to resolve references contained in files and thus access the contents of store objects.
