If there's no Inter Process Communications and it doesn't use the OS to write to the filesystem...how does an application write to SQLlite db? I'm a noob and j

  It uses the OS to write to the filesystem. It just does some clever management of data needing to be written. You can build your own if you are clever enough to read write to your own file format too. If you want to build an RDBMS using SQLite as the core, you can. You can also do it using uncompressed WAV audio files if you are clever and hate yourself enough. To use SQLite in such a scenario you simply have to write the entire RDBMS minus the file handling routines. This includes a connection pooling mechanism and a single process to isolate the connection to the SQLite file so that the OS doesn't get angry when you try to have multiple things writing to it.
