This proposal is to extend the Power ISA with an Abstract RISC-Paradigm
-Vectorisation Concept that may be applied to **all and any** suitable
+Vectorisation Concept that may be orthogonally applied to **all and any** suitable
Scalar instructions, present and future, in the Scalar Power ISA.
The Vectorisation System is called
["Simple-V"](https://libre-soc.org/openpower/sv/)
and the Prefix Format is called
["SVP64"](https://libre-soc.org/openpower/sv/).
**Simple-V is not a Traditional Vector ISA and therefore
-does not add Vector opcodes**.
+does not add Vector opcodes or regfiles**.
An ISA Concept similar to Simple-V was originally invented in 1994 by
Peter Hsu (Architect of the MIPS R8000) but was dropped as MIPS did not
have an Out-of-Order Microarchitecture on which to best exploit it.
