module Risc

  # SlotToReg moves data into a register from memory.
  # RegToSlot moves data into memory from a register.
  # Both use a base memory (a register)

  # This is because that is what cpu's can do. In programming terms this would be accessing
  #  an element in an array, in the case of SlotToReg setting the value in the array.

  # btw: to move data between registers, use Transfer

  # index resolves with resolve_to_index.
