The Notebook app automatically saves, at certain intervals, the contents of the notebook space to a notebook document stored on disk, with the same name as the title of the notebook space, and the file extension ``.ipynb`. For this reason, there is no confusion about using the same word "notebook" for both the notebook space and the corresonding notebook document, since they are really one and the same concept (we could say that they are "isomorphic").
