A computer user can perform a single action on two targets with this program. Technically, fork is an operation whereby a process creates a copy of itself. In a modern (2021) context, fork is usually implemented as a C Standard Library (libc) wrapper to the fork, clone, or other system calls of the kernel. Abstracted to future computing systems, users make a single action, with modifiersprotections, security, and countermeasures from eachboth targetsystems affecting their probability of successresults, usually increasing the difficulty because of interacting with multiple targets simultaneously. Each of the targets resist with their own attributes, firmware, and software. The result of the actions are determined separately against each target. As an example, trying to infect both Windows and Linux machines simultaneously with a similar virus would increase the complexity and difficulty, because each machine type might have differing firewalls, countermeasures, obfuscation, or physical hardware structure. Translating to a simsense example, fighting a single other human is considered challenging in most situations, yet people like [[Bruce Lee]] were considered masters of the martial arts because they could fight multiple opponents simultaneously.
