1. General Architecture
	1.1 Overview
		This section of the document will describe everything related to the design of the C4C 1 and its architecture.
		It will cover a lot of ground, ranging from the facilities/components of the C4C 1 to the instruction design to
		the bus.

	1.2 The Components
		1.2.0 Intro
			A computer is a really difficult and complex thing to describe to the minute details. Where do we start? I would
			try describing the components first, to break the "thing" down into tangible components. I define a component as
			anything that connects and communicates with the rest of the computer through the bus. Note that I will not get very
			technical here about each component's operation on the bus (go to the next section, 1.3). This is a general description.

		1.2.1 The CPU
			The CPU is the most important and complicated part of a computer to implement. In the C4C 1, the CPU, Instruction Pointer, and
			ROM are attached together. The Instruction Pointer outputs an 8 bit number into the ROM, which reads it as an address and uses to
			outputs a value into the CPU. If the value is an instruction, the CPU divides the instruction into its elements and
			decodes it, caching operands for later. If the value is stored data, the CPU ignores it.

			Now, we come to an important stage of the CPU's execution. The CPU relies on <<microcode>> in order to control the rest of the
			computer over the bus. Microcode is basically hardware commands, each unit on the bus is addressed and has commands
			that it can understand. More on this in the next section (1.3). The CPU stores this microcode prewired, and puts it on the bus with
			the operands after processing. The other units understand this, and use the commands to do things. Note that every unit has its own
			unique commands that only it understands, making microcode and a bus more efficient than a maze of wires that is difficult to
			design and navigate.

		1.2.2 The ROM
			The ROM is vital to the computer's execution. It is a 256 byte FILT memory unit that contains the pre-loaded programs you write.
			In the C4C 1, the CPU, Instruction Pointer, and ROM are attached together, as said in 1.2.1 (The CPU). The ROM receives
			addresses from the Instruction Pointer, and sends off instructions to the CPU. The ROM is also directly connected to the bus,
			which allows programs to access it with the LOADROM instruction. You see, the ROM can also store data, which is distinguished
			from instructions in a way that I will describe in section 1.4. This allows you to load data from the ROM directly into the
			registers.

		1.2.3 The RAM
			The RAM is a ROM unit that I created, modified to be writeable. It is 256 bytes of FILT memory that you can read or write
			from, and it can be written to and read from with the LOADRAM and STORE instructions, as it is also connected to the bus.
			This should be used for more long term storage of constants, as it is significantly slower than the registers.

		1.2.4 The Registers Unit
			The registers unit is made up of 16 registers (AX - PX). These registers are used for practically everything, from doing
			arithmetic/logic, to conditional operations, to input/output. The LOADROM and LOADRAM instructions load data into the
			registers, and the STORE instruction saves them into the RAM. The MOV instruction copies the value of one register to another.

		1.2.5 The Instruction Pointer
			The instruction pointer keeps track of which address the computer is on in the ROM. It feeds into the ROM, which feeds into
			the CPU. You cannot read from the instruction pointer, only write to it with the JMP, JZ or JNZ instructions. It is a special
			incrementable register adapted to keep track of instructions.

		1.2.6 The Conditionals Unit
			The conditionals unit handles the conditional jumps, JZ and JNZ. It will check if a register value that is sent to it is zero
			or not, before choosing whether to change the instruction pointer's address or not.

		1.2.7 The Arithmetic/Logic Unit
			This large unit can be described very simply, it controls all of the logical, bitwise, and arithmetic operations - it receives
			the values and which operation to do from the bus, and outputs back the result. Inside the ALU, there is an adder, an OR unit,
			an AND unit, a NOT unit, and a shifter unit. It can be used through the ADD, NOT, AND, OR, SHL, and SHR instructions. The adder
			is interesting - instead of a traditional ripple carry adder, it is a modified binary counter - it accepts input like a normal
			register through 8 bits - but if more data is written onto it without clearing it it operates like a binary counter and ends
			up adding the two numbers.

		1.2.8 The I/O Unit
			The I/O unit communicates with external devices. It takes the data on the bus and outputs it to an external
			device, or reads from a input device and outputs its data on the bus.

	1.3 The Bus
		1.3.0 Intro
			Now that all the components have been described, I will describe the bus, which connects all of the various components
			together under a common protocol that can be used for communication. The bus is basically a bunch of wires (more specifically, 21)
			placed right next to each other, that are used for signaling. It is the lifeline of the computer. Every component connects to it
			and communicates over it. Without it, the CPU would sit silent, unable to control the other units.

		1.3.1 How the Bus Works
			Now that we now what the bus is, I will describe how it works. The bus's 21 wires are divided into two sections that serve
			different purposes. There is the 12 bit command (CMND) section of the bus, and the 8 bit data section of the bus (DATA).

			But there are 21 wires! What does the last one do? The last wire (P) signals all the components to read what is on the bus and
			process the information. If the address specified by the command section of the bus is not the address of a unit that processes
			it, that unit will ignore the data on the bus and let the unit with the correct address process the bus. Altogether, this is what
			the bus looks like in terms of bits:

			[x][xxxxxxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx]
			[P][    CMND    ][  DATA  ]

			The command and data sections of the bus play unique roles. The data section of the bus carries, well, data. This can be anything
			from numbers to addresses depending on the purpose, as long as it fits in 8 bits. The command section is split into two parts. The
			first part is a 4 bit address that is unique for every unit that is on the bus. The second part is a command the unit will
			understand. It can be anything, as long as it fits into 8 bits. So, the data and command sections would look like this:

			Command Section:
				[xxxx][xxxxxxxx]
				[ADDR][  CMND  ]

			Data Section:
				[xxxxxxxx]
				[  DATA  ]

		1.3.2 Microcode
			The job of the CPU is to control the components/units over the bus. We have discussed the protocol for communication over the bus.
			Here, I will explain how the CPU takes an instruction given to it from ROM and puts it on the bus - how it controls the components.
			After the operands are cached, the CPU needs to assemble a command for the bus. To do this, it selects a predefined sequence of
			bits from the correct place in a special memory unit, to put on the bus along with the correctly formatted operands.
			These predefined sequences of bits form the microcode, and are what the CPU uses to control the units in the C4C 1.
			They in essence form the CPU! The completed sequence is output onto the bus, and the targeted unit returns data back to the CPU for
			further processing. Even if there is no data to return, the P line is still signaled in order for the CPU to continue execution.
			In a single instruction, there may be multiple steps the units need to take in order to execute it, for example, there are 5 steps
			the units need to take to add the contents of two registers together. Therefore, there can be multiple microcode sequences that are
			executed sequentially for each instruction, with every signal back to the CPU over the P line from a unit causing the CPU to move
			on to the next line of microcode until the instruction is executed.

		1.3.3 Individual Component Microcode Commands
			1.3.3.0 Intro
				This section is a reference of all the different microcode sequences the CPU puts on the bus to
				drive the components. Each component is different, understands different commands and has
				a different address on the bus. Here is a list of each unit's commands/data received, and the data it outputs to CPU.

			1.3.3.1 CPU
				- Address: 0000
				- Input from Bus to CPU:
					[1][0000][00000000][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					When a component processes the CPU's commands from the bus, it sends the data output back
					to the CPU for the next step in executing an instruction
				- Output from CPU to Bus:
					[1][xxxx][xxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					The CPU, to control a component, outputs its address, CMND, and DATA
					(usually mixed with operands) onto the bus

			1.3.3.2 ROM
				- Address: 0001
				- Input from Bus to ROM:
					[1][0001][xxxxxxxx][00000000]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					The command is an address from the bus that corresponds to a byte of data in memory
				- Output from ROM to Bus:
					[1][0000][00000000][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					The byte of data in the ROM is output back to the CPU on the bus

			1.3.3.3 RAM
				- Address: 0010
				- Input from Bus to RAM:
					[1][0010][xxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx][x]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ][W]
					The command is an address from the bus that corresponds to a byte of data in memory, W is an optional direct write
					line from the CPU to the RAM that, if turned on, puts the RAM into write mode. In that case, the data section of
					the bus is written to the address specified by the command section
				- Output from RAM to Bus:
					[1][0000][00000000][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					If W was not turned on, then the data corresponding to the requested address is output back to the CPU on the bus

			1.3.3.4 Registers Unit
				- Address: 0011
				- Input from Bus to Registers Unit:
					[1][0011][xxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					CMND consists of [xxxx][xxxx] address of register and instruction,
					                 [ADDR][INST] which can be 0000 (read) or 0001 (write)
					If INST is 0001 (write), then DATA is written to the register
				- Output from Registers Unit to Bus:
					[1][0000][00000000][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					The data the register held is output onto the bus if INST is 0000 (read)

			1.3.3.5 Instruction Pointer
				- Address: 0100
				- Input from Bus to Instruction Pointer:
					[1][0100][xxxxxxxx][00000000]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					CMND is the address to change the instruction pointer to
				- Output from Instruction Pointer to Bus:
					[1][0000][00000000][00000000]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					Signals back to the CPU that the instruction pointer was changed

			1.3.3.6 Conditionals Unit
				- Address: 0101
				- Input from Bus to Conditionals Unit:
					[1][0101][xxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx][x]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ][I]
					CMND is the address of an instruction in ROM to which to jump if the condition is met, and DATA is the data to check
					for meeting the condition. I is a special direct line from the CPU to the conditionals unit which determines whether
					to return positive for zero or not-zero (JNZ vs JZ). 1 is JZ and 0 is JNZ.
				- Output from Conditionals Unit to Bus:
					[1][xxxx][xxxxxxxx][00000000]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					Returns command to instruction pointer (sets ADDR to 0100) IF CONDITION MET, CMND is the address of the instruction to
					JMP to. If CONDITION NOT MET, there is no data to send, and ADDR is set to the CPU (0000)

			1.3.3.7 ALU Accumulator
				- Address: 0110
				- Input from Bus to ALU Accumulator:
					[1][0110][xxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					CMND consists of [0000][xxxx] INST is the operation to take (OR, AND, NOT, SHL, SHR, ADD)
				               		       [INST] numbered from 0000 - 0101 in order
					Data is the number to put into the accumulator
					ALU Secondary is Operand B, Accumulator is Operand A
				- Output from ALU Accumulator to Bus:
					[1][0000][00000000][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					This is the result of operation - the ALU Secondary would be loaded first, then signal the CPU using the P line on
					the bus. Then, ALU Accumulator would be loaded with data and the command, and the ALU would operate
					and return the value on the accumulator to the CPU

			1.3.3.8 ALU Secondary
				- Address: 0111
				- Input from Bus to ALU Secondary:
					[1][0111][00000000][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					DATA is the register value to put into the ALU secondary operand
				- Output from ALU Secondary to Bus:
					[1][0000][00000000][00000000]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					Signals back to the CPU that the operand was loaded in

			1.3.3.9 I/O Unit
				- Address: 1000
				- Input from Bus to I/O Unit:
					[1][1000][xxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					CMND consists of [0000][xxxx] which dictates whether to input data to the CPU or write data onto peripheral
					                       [INST] to peripheral (0000 = write data to peripheral, 0001 = input data back to CPU over bus)
					DATA is loaded data from the bus - INST 0000 writes it out to the peripheral
				- Output from I/O Unit to Bus:
					[1][0000][00000000][xxxxxxxx]
					[P][ADDR][  CMND  ][  DATA  ]
					If INST is 0000, then unit writes data that came externally onto the bus

	1.4 The Operation of the CPU
		1.4.0 Intro
			This section is going to discuss the operation of the CPU more in-depth. We will take a look at the difference
			between instructions and data, how the CPU interprets instructions, and more.

		1.4.1 Instructions vs. Data
			In the first stage of the CPU's operation, the ROM unit feeds directly into the CPU a 30-bit value which corresponds to an
			address given to it by the instruction pointer. The CPU's job is to decide what to do with this value. This is where the
			difference between data and instructions becomes important. In the C4C 1, data is an 8 bit value that sits in the ROM and
			is used by the program through the instruction LOADROM, while the instructions are what the CPU decodes and executes.
			Here are the bitfields for instructions and data when they sit in the ROM and are fed into the CPU:

			Instruction Bitfield:
	   			[11111][xxxx][xxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx][00000] where IDENT = identifies byte as instruction and INST = which instruction
	   			[IDENT][INST][OPERANDA][OPERANDB][EMPTY]

			Data Bitfield:
	   			[0000000000000000000000][xxxxxxxx]
	   			[        UNUSED        ][  DATA  ]

			As said previously, data is not executed, only instructions, so what happens when the ROM feeds data into the CPU? The CPU
			skips over the data, refreshing itself and moving on to the next instruction. I call this mechanism "passing", as the CPU
			"passes over" data or anything else that isn't considered an instruction (doesn't contain instruction's identifier in highest
			five bits).

		1.4.2 Executing an Instruction
			The CPU follows several steps to execute an instruction after it is fed in from the ROM. After checking to make sure that the
			instruction is an instruction by looking at the highest five bits (the instruction identifier) the CPU moves on to decode the
			next four bits. These bits identify which instruction is to be executed. The instruction decoder, when fed these four bits,
			selects a location in a special memory unit containing the instruction's microcode. The operands are cached for later in a
			special register, the operand register. Now, back to the special memory unit that contains the microcode - the microcode unit.

			Once the instruction decoder selects the instruction's microcode (see section 1.3.2 for an explanation of what microcode is),
			it sequentially executes the microcode, outputing each line of microcode on the bus after shifting and ORing the correct
			operand with the output (which operand to select, if any at all, is specified in the selected line of microcode by two bits
			at the end). Now, since instructions are stored as a series of microcode sequences, each time a unit returns data and the P signal
			to the CPU, the next microcode sequence of the instruction is executed, until the end of the instruction is reached. This is how
			the CPU moves through several sequences of microcode to make all the units work together.

			Since the C4C 1's CPU executes each instruction from a series of microcode sequences ORed with the formatted operands sequentially,
			we can't really calculate how long an instruction takes from each pulse of the "clock" that is attached to the top of the
			instruction pointer. We need to redefine what a cycle is. Instructions vary in length, and therefore, we will redefine a cycle
			as the length of time it takes to execute one line of microcode. This means a simple instruction like MOV might take two cycles,
			and a more complex one like ADD 5 or 6.

		1.4.3 Operands
			As specified in the instruction bitfield, there are two operands in each instruction. These operands are used to change how the
			instruction executes - for example, in the MOV instruction, they are used to determine which registers are being copied from
			and copied to. They are 8 bit values that can be addresses, or registers. What is missing from operands is the direct storage
			of constants. All operands in the C4C 1 are references. This is simply the design of the C4C 1, all data constants are loaded
			from the ROM or RAM into registers. This is also due to my laziness in implementing any method to distinguish constants from
			references.

		1.4.4 Register Operands
			One of the operands that a instruction can store is a register. As said in section 1.2.4 (Registers unit), there are 16 registers
			(AX - PX). These registers are addressed in a very specific way inside an operand. Since there are only 16 registers, we only need
			a 4 bit value to store them. So, inside the operand bitfield, the register bitfield would look like this:

			[0000][xxxx] where addr = address of register from 0 - 15 (AX - PX)
			[NONE][ADDR]



2. Programming Reference
	2.1 Overview/Intro
		This section is not as expansive as the general architecture section, and will go over programming the C4C 1. First, as a review,
		we will go over the facilities provided for the programmer by the C4C 1 computer:
			- 8 bit architecture - data and addresses and such are 8 bits long - computer is based around 8 bit data
			- 256 bytes of ROM
			- 256 bytes of RAM
			- 16 general purpose registers: AX - PX
			- Writeable Instruction Pointer and Conditionals Unit for jumps
			- Arithmetic / Logic Unit
			- 8 bit I/O port

		With those facilities in mind, let's take a look at the way instructions and data are stored in 30 bit bytes in the filt ROM:
			Instruction Bitfield:
	   			[11111][xxxx][xxxxxxxx][xxxxxxxx][00000] where IDENT = identifies byte as instruction and INST = which instruction
	   			[IDENT][INST][OPERANDA][OPERANDB][EMPTY]

			Data Bitfield:
	   			[0000000000000000000000][xxxxxxxx]
	   			[        UNUSED        ][  DATA  ]

			Register bitfield (for use in operands):
				[0000][xxxx] where addr = address of register from 0 - 15 (AX - PX)
				[NONE][ADDR]

		And a assembly instruction corresponding to instructions or data:
			Instruction: [MNEMONIC] [OPERANDA], [OPERANDB]

			Data: DB [8BIT-BYTE]

		To program the C4C 1 CPU in PowderToy, there are several steps you need to take:
			1. Write out the instruction in assembly mnemonics, e.g. MOV AX, BX
			2. Find the binary address corresponding to the instruction, e.g. 0001 for MOV
			3. Encode the operands in binary, e.g. OPERANDA[AX] becomes 00000000 and OPERANDB[BX] becomes 00000001
			4. Put the instruction together in binary, with the identifier at the front, followed
			   by the binary instruction address, followed by the operands, and lastly the sequence 00000
			   e.g. 11111 + 0001 + 00000000 + 00000001 + 00000 => 111110001000000000000000100000
			5. Convert the instruction from binary to hex, e.g. 111110001000000000000000100000 => 0x3E200020
			6. Set the PROP tool to edit CTYPE and paste the hex instruction with the "0x" at the front,
			   click OK and click on the filt memory cell you want to write to. The cells go from left to right,
			   then top to bottom. (Address 0 - 15 first row, 16 - 31 second row, and so on until address 255)

		Putting data into the ROM is similar. Simply convert the 8 bit byte to hex, put the 0x in front of it,
		paste it into the PROP tool with it set to CTYPE, and click on the filt memory cell you want to write to.

	2.2 Basic Programming
		Now that the previous section (2.1) has introduced you to the facilities provided by the C4C 1 and how to program it,
		I will just give you all the instructions and the information required to program with them. The instructions are formatted
		in a special way. I write the mnemonic of the instruction first, followed by the operands, followed by thier types: either [NONE],
		[REGISTER] for register, [ROMADDR] for a ROM address, [RAMADDR] for a RAM address, and [CONSTANT] for constant (used only in DB). The
		instruction's value in binary (address) that is used in INST from the instruction bitfield in section 2.1 is listed below this,
		followed by the description. Operands A and B correspond to a, b in instruction. Here you go:

		HLT [NONE]
			- Address: 0000
			- Stops and resets the CPU

		MOV a, b [REGISTER],[REGISTER]
			- Address: 0001
			- Copies the value of register b to register a

		STORE a, b [RAMADDR], [REGISTER]
			- Address: 0010
			- Stores contents of register b in RAM memory location a

 		LOADRAM a, b [REGISTER], [RAMADDR]
			- Address: 0011
			- Loads contents of RAM memory location b into register a

	 	LOADROM a, b, [REGISTER], [ROMADDR]
			- Address: 0100
			- Loads contents of ROM memory location b into register a

		DB a [CONSTANT]
			- Address: None
			- This is a special instruction - the value of a is simply stored in the ROM, using the data bitfield talked about in
			  section 2.1. DB stands for data byte - the instruction stores one 8 bit byte. This data can be retreived using LOADROM,
			  where the value for the ROM address would be the address of this byte

		JMP a [ROMADDR]
			- Address: 0101
			- Changes value of instruction pointer to the value of a - this is an unconditional jump

		JZ a, b [ROMADDR], [REGISTER]
			- Address: 0110
			- Changes the value of the instruction pointer to the value of a only if the value of register b is zero - this is a
			  conditional jump

		JNZ a, b [ROMADDR], [REGISTER]
			- Address: 0111
			- Changes the value of the instruction pointer to the value of a only if the value of register b is not zero - this is a
			  conditional jump

		OR a, b [REGISTER], [REGISTER]
			- Address: 1000
			- Performs logical or on values of registers a and b, stores result in register a

		AND a, b [REGISTER], [REGISTER]
			- Address: 1001
			- Performs logical and on values of registers a and b, stores result in register a

		NOT a [REGISTER]
			- Address: 1010
			- Performs logical not on value stored in register a and stores the value in register a

		SHL a [REGISTER]
			- Address: 1011
			- Performs an overflow, destructive left shift on register a

		SHR a [REGISTER]
			- Address: 1100
			- Performs an overflow, destructive right shift on register a

		ADD a, b [REGISTER], [REGISTER]
			- Address: 1101
			- Adds the values of registers a and b together, stores result in register a

		RECV a [REGISTER]
			- Address: 1110
			- Receive a value into register a from the I/O port

		SEND a [REGISTER]
			- Address: 1111
			- Send a value from register a to the I/O port

	2.3 Advanced Information
		This information talks about the instructions on a deeper level. Here, we will talk about the actual execution of each instruction.
		This means we get to revisit the microcode sequences from earlier. This is described in detail in section 1.4.2 and 1.3.2.
		The following lists every instruction, and the details of how it is executed by the CPU. Each instruction's description is divided into
		two parts: the number of cycles it takes to execute, and a detailed description of the microcode behind each cycle. One last note: any
		bitfield represented by x's (e.g. [xxxx]) is where operands are ORed with the microcode.

		- HLT [NONE]
			- Number of Cycles: 1
			- Execution Information: Special - this is wired directly to CPU components

		- MOV a, b [REGISTER],[REGISTER]
			- Number of Cycles: 2
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0011][xxxx][0000] = Read data of register b, address [xxxx] back to CPU
				Cycle 2: [0011][xxxx][0001] = Write data out of CPU onto register a [xxxx]

		- STORE a, b [RAMADDR], [REGISTER]
			- Number of Cycles: 2
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0011][xxxx][0000] = Read data of register b, address [xxxx] back to CPU
				Cycle 2: [1][0010][xxxxxxxx] = Write data out of CPU onto RAM address a [xxxxxxxx]

		- LOADRAM a, b [REGISTER], [RAMADDR]
			- Number of Cycles: 2
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0][0010][xxxxxxxx] = Read RAM address b [xxxxxxxx] back to CPU
				Cycle 2: [0011][xxxx][0001] = Write data out of CPU onto register a [xxxx]

		- LOADROM a, b, [REGISTER], [ROMADDR]
			- Number of Cycles: 2
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0001][xxxxxxxx] = Read ROM address b [xxxxxxxx] back to CPU
				Cycle 2: [0011][xxxx][0001] = Write data out of CPU onto register a [xxxx]

		- DB a [CONSTANT]
			- Number of Cycles: 1
			- Execution Information: Special - the CPU uses the "passing" mechanism to skip over this

		- JMP a [ROMADDR]
			- Number of Cycles: 1
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0100][xxxxxxxx] = Write ROM address a out of CPU onto instruction pointer [xxxxxxxx]

		- JZ a, b [ROMADDR], [REGISTER]
			- Number of Cycles: 2
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0011][xxxx][0000] = Read data of register b, address [xxxx] back to CPU
				Cycle 2: [0101][xxxxxxxx][1] = Write ROM address a out of CPU into the conditionals unit, data from register b is also
				                               written out in order for the conditionals unit to decide whether to JMP or not

		- JNZ a, b [ROMADDR], [REGISTER]
			- Number of Cycles: 2
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0011][xxxx][0000] = Read data of register b, address [xxxx] back to CPU
				Cycle 2: [0101][xxxxxxxx][0] = Write ROM address a out of CPU into the conditionals unit, data from register b is also
				                               written out in order for the conditionals unit to decide whether to JMP or not

		- OR, AND, NOT, SHL, SHR, ADD a, b [REGISTER], [REGISTER] OR a [REGISTER]
			- Number of Cycles: 4
			- Special: OR, AND, ADD are a, b [REGISTER], [REGISTER] format while NOT, SHL, and SHR are a [REGISTER] format
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0011][xxxx][0000] = Read data of register b, address [xxxx] back to CPU. For NOT, SHL, and SHR - AX is
				                              read in - but this doesn't influence the execution
				Cycle 2: [0111][00000000] = The register specified by b is read into the ALU secondary
				Cycle 3: [0011][xxxx][0000] = Read data of register a, address [xxxx] back to CPU.
				Cycle 4: [0110][0000][CMND] = Register a is read into ALU accumulator, CMND is the hardcoded number of which operation
				                              to execute (0 - 5, corresponding to OR - ADD)
				Cycle 5: [0011][xxxx][0001] = Write data out of CPU onto register a [xxxx]

		- RECV a [REGISTER]
			- Number of Cycles: 2
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [1000][00000001] = Request data from peripheral into the CPU
				Cycle 2: [0011][xxxx][0001] = Write data onto register a, address [xxxx] from peripheral

		- SEND a [REGISTER]
			- Number of Cycles: 2
			- Execution Information:
				Cycle 1: [0011][xxxx][0000] = Read data from register a, address [xxxx] back to CPU
				Cycle 2: [1000][00000000] = Write loaded data to the peripheral unit
