 ### Object Traces
 
-Object traces are somewhat minimal stack traces with basic information on which binary a frame corresponds to, any
-symbol name libdl (in linux/macos) was able to resolve, the raw program counter and the program counter translated to
-the corresponding object file's memory space.
+Object traces contain the most basic information needed to construct a stack trace outside the currently running
+executable. It contains the raw address, the address in the binary (ASLR and the object file's memory space and whatnot
+is resolved), and the path to the object the instruction pointer is located in.
