Critically depends on ARM Scalar instructions
* (14): difficult to exactly ascertain, see ARM Architecture Reference Manual Supplement, DDI 0584. Critically depends on ARM Scalar instructions.
* (15): ARM states that the Scalability is a [Silicon-partner choice](https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Arm%20Developer%20Community/PDF/102340_0001_00_en_introduction-to-sve2.pdf?revision=aae96dd2-5334-4ad3-9a47-393086a20fea).
- Scalability in the ISA is **not available to the programmer**: there is no `setvl` instruction in SVE2, which is already causing assembler programmer difficulties. Effectively this makes SVE2 Predicated SIMD where the SIMD width is chosen by the "Silicon partner"

+ **Note that there does not exist publicly-available SVE2 Hardware. Assessing the non-portability of binaries, acknowledge PRIVATELY by ARM Engineers, requires in-depth knowledge of SVE2. This has NOT yet reached public awareness due to world-wide total lack of SVE2 Hardware**
