- Word types
-
- There are 4 word types in Collapse OS. Whenever you have a
- wordref, it's pointing to a byte with numbers 0 to 3. This
- number is the word type and the word's behavior depends on it.
-
- 0: native. This words PFA contains native binary code and is
- jumped to directly.
-
- 1: compiled. This word's PFA contains an atom list and its
- execution is described in "EXECUTION MODEL" above.
-
- 2: cell. This word is usually followed by a 2-byte value in its
- PFA. Upon execution, the address of the PFA is pushed to PS.
