Consider embeddable COM frames, Android Fragments, Android Slices, Android rich notifications, Picture-in-picture, widgets, widgets, widgets, or <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="https://www.mercuryos.com/architecture">Mercury OS Modules</link>.
If you cannot imagine these, just think of windows without their gross 80-pixel shadow.
The reason for a new concept of frame here is that we need small units of interactive content to meaningfully speak of navigation.</para>

Usability, done to the extreme without truly considering the user capacity, degenerates into tyranny as too many decisions are made to please the users in the short term.
