+  # To allow for forward branches creation does not fix the position. 
+  # Thee position is fixed in one of three ways
+  # - create the block with ruby block, signalling that the instantiation poin is the position
+  # - call block.code with the code or if you wish program.add_block (and add you code with calls)
+  # - the assmebly process will pin it if it wasn't set
 
+  # creating blocks is done by calling the blocks name/label on either a program or a block
+  #  (method missing will cathc the call and create the block)
+  # and the easiest way is to go into a ruby block and start writing instructions
+  # Example (backward jump):
+  #       program.loop do                         create a new block with label loop
+  #                 sub r1 , r1 , 1               count the r1 register down
