-The next transformation from mom to the Risc layer will naturally include the transformation of:

-- tree to list
+
-- mom instructions to risc instructions (which is 1 to n so relatively simple)
+## 1. Everything but control structures
-- memory to memory transfer, to memory register memory transfers.
+
+So we go from language to machine as the first step, in terms of memory instructions.
+Memory gets moved around between the main machine objects (frames and messages).
+But control structures stay "intact", so we stay at tree structure
+
+## 2. Flattening control structures
+
+By flattening control structures and introducing jumps instead, we go from tree to linked
+list of instructions.
+
+After this, it is quite trivial to translate to risc, as it mostly expands instructions.

+I hope that in the future this simple 2 stage pipeline will expand into more steps.
