Symbols and actions used in the current implementation of molecular microprograms. For a detailed description see [20].
| Opcode(s) . | Name . | Description . |
|---|---|---|
| A–Z | n-op | Inactive template code and instruction modifier |
| $ | search | Shift ∗F to a matching template |
| > | move | Shift pointers to the flow pointer |
| ^ | toggle | Switch pointer to molecular bind partner |
| ? | if | Conditional increment of instruction pointer |
| = | copy | Insert at ∗W a copy of the symbol at ∗R |
| % | cleave | Split a sequence and generate a new molecule |
| } | end | Terminate execution and break the bond between molecules |
