Computers are about bit flipping, 0s' and 1s'.

Get ten bits to flip and a human can do it, keep track of it.

Get 1000 bits and you begin to have a problem.

Get more and it becomes impossible for a human to manually deal with it.

So we take a given bit pattern and assign a another bit pattering to it so
as to give it something we can remember.

word bit pattern = extended definition bit pattern.


This is the most fundamental act of creating an abstraction.


This way we can play with words instead of bits in order to manipulate and
control what amounts to bits.

keeping this up we get to a point where we have:

program_name = what all the program does down to the Bit level.

etc...


kooks and rantings.


what do we do with these abstractions?

input -> processing -> output

and all that this expands out to in action constants.

Which carried out to the logical conclusion is totals nine action
constants.

Putting them into the terms of computer functionality, you of couse have
to fill in the functioning details of how they work in computer and this
leads to the options of the commands.

What are those actions?
