"Virtual" and "alias" can create a lot of confusion (especially for me). This is a TOC page for "virtual" -- it will pay to see AliasTOC.

From the "Free On-line Dictionary of Computing" (09 FEB 020):

1. Common alternative to logical; often used to refer to the artificial objects (like addressable virtual memory larger than physical memory) created by a computer system to help the system control access to shared resources.

2. Simulated; performing the functions of something that isn't really there. An imaginative child's doll may be a virtual playmate.
