📖What it means
Keeping things apart so that one cannot see or damage another — separate stores, separate logins, separate lanes. Isolation is structural: it survives someone forgetting to be careful.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: User isolation
User isolation is the specific principle about people's data; isolation is the general technique.
Not: Boundary
Isolation is the outcome; the boundary is the line that produces it.
