# Introduction
-This document focuses on the encoding of [[SV|sv]], and assumes familiarity with the same. It is best read in conjunction with the [[sv/overview]] which explains the background.
+This document focuses on the encoding of [[SV|sv]], and assumes familiarity with the same. It does not cover how SV works (merely the instruction encoding), and is therefore best read in conjunction with the [[sv/overview]].
The plan is to create an encoding for SVP64, then to create an encoding
for SVP48, then to reorganize them both to improve field overlap,
