"Is PASE native?" has been debated ad nauseum.

I understand that a few people may attach the term "native" to PASE. The
problem with that is it blurs relevant distinctions between IBM i and PASE.
I think that more people should understand the relevant differences between
these two operating environments. So rather than contend over the
appropriate application of the term "native", why not discuss relative
distinctions such as:

- Single level store vs. teraspace memory.
- Technology independent machine interface vs. virtual machines that are
loaded into PASE.
- PASE Syscall interface.
- Mode switching within the Power CPU (between 32 bit power PC vs. 64 bit
amazon).
- Language environments that get loaded into PASE (Java, Node.js, Python,
PHP, Perl, Mono?) vs. the ILE language environment.
- How interfaces between PASE and IBM i require inter-system communication,
vs. calls that support shared memory.
- How the native virtual machine (the TIMI) supports work management,
running thousands of concurrent Jobs vs. PASE that can support a relatively
small number of virtual machine and language environment instances.
