its not a folder, its a virtual file system thats a view into various 
kernel internals.

for instance, /proc/kcore is a readonly view of all of physical 
memory.   /proc/scsi/scsi is a list of currently installed SCSI class 
devices. /proc/(pid)/... is a bunch of info about a running process.   etc.
