definition

x₁ is an executable/binary file to be run in system/runtime environment x₂.

notes

A calque on the English word "binary". The x₁ refers more generally to executables, not necessarily binaries. This includes shell scripts and interpreted languages such as Python. The x₂ refers to runtime environments, which can be operating systems or more general environments such as virtual machines like the JVM. See also samrkompli, which is specifically about compiled programs.
