# Instruction is an abstract for all the code of the object-machine.
# Derived classes make up the actual functionality of the machine.
# All functions on the machine are captured as instances of instructions
#
# It is actually the point of the virtual machine layer to express oo functionality in the set of instructions,
# thus defining a minimal set of instructions needed to implement oo.
# This is partly because jumping over this layer and doing in straight in assember was too big a step

# it is indeed the first instruction as just this instruction is the smallest possible programm for the machine.
# As such it is the next instruction for any first instruction that we generate.
