Simple syntax - page 1

Before I continue, I must introduce a few symbols to be used in writing instructions.

It would be easier to talk about things if we could refer to them by a name instead of a number. Thus I introduce the "alias" syntax, as follows:

   alias 22 as "temperature-sensor"
   alias 117 as "multiplier-input-one"
   alias 283940 as "cosine"
   alias 948392839049483 as "my-friend-fred's-front-door-latch"

The first two above can represent register numbers inside a WIZ, the third would be a WIZ number within a WIZ chip, and the last a serial number of a WIZ chip somewhere on the planet.

Now instead of this:                 22 -> 117
We can write this:    temperature-sensor -> multiplier-input-one

Or:  8392 -> my-friend-fred's-front-door-latch    // 8392 is his secret key

Note that these aliases are not fixed. Any names can be assigned and later re-assigned. And we can give more than one alias to the same number. For example:

   alias 22 as "thermo-jigger"
   alias 117 as "my-trusty-friend"

and then write "thermo-jigger -> my-trusty-friend".

Register numbers inside a particular WIZ, WIZ numbers inside a particular WIZ chip, and serial numbers of WIZ chips across the planet are unique and unambiguously identify a single thing. Thus: "22 -> 117" can mean just one thing. But "thermo-jigger -> my-trusty-friend" can mean any pair of registers that these names happen to be aliased to at the time they are used.

Thus names are way less exact, but *waaay* more useful for the purpose of human discourse!
