- 5. Core words (high)
-
- Boot code (B280)
-
- This part contains core routines that underpins Forth fundamen-
- tal structures: dict navigation and search, PSP/RSP bounds
- checks, word types (atom, native, literals, "does type"), etc.
-
- It also of course does core initialization: set RSP/PSP, HERE
- CURRENT, then find BOOT and call it (see B89).
-
- It also contains what we call the "stable ABI" in its first
- 0x100 bytes. The beginning og the dict is intertwined in this
- layer because EXIT, (br), (?br) and (loop) are part of the
- stable ABI.
