 # creature
 
 A simple, extendable, 16 instruction stack machine.
+
+It has two portions of memory: the stack and the block. I hesitate to call the
+block a heap because it is not a data structure, it is a continuous block of
+memory.
+
+Both the stack and the block are as infinite, as computing resources and integer
+limits allow, in the positive direction. They are automatically expanded
+when written to.
+
+## Instruction Set
+
+Each documented instruction has a list of what is pushed, and what is popped.
+the items are listed in chronological order, from first pushed/popped to last
+pushed/popped.
+
+### 0x0 PUSH
+
+Pushes the next word in program memory onto the stack.
+
+Pushes:
+1. next word in program memory
+
+### 0x1 POP
+
+Pops the top word off of the stack, and discards it.
+
+Pops:
+1. word
+
+### 0x2 PEEK
+
+Reads a memory address from the block and places it atop the stack.
+
+Pops:
+1. address
+
+Pushes:
+1. word found at address
+
+### 0x3 POKE
+
+Sets a memory address in the block.
+
+Pops:
+1. address
+2. value to store
+
+### 0x4 ADD
+
+Adds two words. Tip: this can be used as a logical OR.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand + right operand
+
+### 0x5 SUB
+
+Subtracts two words.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand - right operand
+
+### 0x6 MUL
+
+Multiplies two words.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand * right operand
+
+### 0x7 DIV
+
+Divides two words.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand / right operand
+
+### 0x8 EQ
+
+Checks if two words are equal. Pushes 1 if true, zero if false.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand == right operand
+
+### 0x9 GT
+
+Checks if a word is greater than another word. Pushes 1 if true, zero if false.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand > right operand
+
+### 0xA LT
+
+Checks if a word is less than another word. Pushes 1 if true, zero if false.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand < right operand
+
+### 0xB NEQ
+
+Checks if two words are *not* equal. Pushes 1 if true, zero if false.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand != right operand
+
+### 0xC MOD
+
+Performs a modulo operation on two words.
+
+Pops:
+1. left operand
+2. right operand
+
+Pushes:
+1. left operand % right operand
+
+### 0xD HALT
+
+Halts execution of the machine.
+
+### 0xE JMP
+
+Jumps to the specified address if a word is non-zero.
+
+Pops:
+1. address
+2. condition
+
+### 0xF CAL
+
+Call a function that can be registered using the Machine.Register method.
+Functions are allowed to push and pop whatever they want to and from the stack,
+as well as read and write to and from the block.
+
+Pops:
+1. function ID
+2. ...other stuff, it depends on the function.
+
+Pushes:
+1. ...again, depends on the function.
