What does Guest Memory % actually mean?

$

In the virtual machine summary, there are two columns described this way in the online help:

 

 

     Host Mem - Number of megabytes of the virtual machine's memory used. 

 

 

     Guest Mem % - Amount of the guest operating system's memory used. 

 

 

The description of Host Mem seems wrong...isn't this column the number of megabytes of host memory used? 

 

 

Secondly what does Guest Mem % actually mean?  What is the calculation in terms of measurables that produces this value?

 

 

Are there any meaningful invariants that can be used to relate /proc/vmmemctl, free -m or other inguest statistics with statistics in the VMWARE Infrastructure client?
