yikes! now, when you start messing with pointers like this, you're bound to run into a bunch of undefined behaviour. but C programmers write undefined behaviour all the time (and not always by accident), and my computer executes this program fine without complaining at all. doesn't it feel a bit weird that we can take a pointer to `arr[0]` and modify it to load `secret`? they're not even part of the same array...

## introducting capabilities
|
||||
CHERI introduces capabilities, which can be thought of as an extension to pointers. they still store an address of something we care about, but they have extra information too! in a 64-bit system, a pointer would typically be a 64-bit value (as dicussed previously). the corresponding capability in a CHERI platform is 128 bits (or 129 bits if you look at it a certain way, more about that later).
|
||||
|
||||
as you might have guessed, this "extra information" takes up 64 bits of the capability. bits are assigned to three key pieces of metadata: *bounds*, *permissions*, and *object type*. there is also an additional 1-bit _tag_ which is stored out-of-band: it is not a 129-bit value - instead each 128-bit capability can be thought of as being associated with a 1-bit validity tag. the architecture manages this association for us. the diagram below is provided as a rough overview of this. note that it is not to scale.
