At bottom, a calibration is a table of values, translating a standard color space to what the display requires.
Yes, but real color management uses profiling, which is not at all the same. Display calibration is only per channel, so all it can do is tweak the white point and set the non-color managed application response curves and neutral axis. Color managed applications use the profile, which overrides the calibration.

But the result of the calibration is a profile - a table of values.  That's what I'm talking about.
