-In other words, when communicating in a Specification there are **four**
+In other words, when communicating in a Specification there are **eight**
possible areas for confusion.
Then there is the completely separate issue of whether:
reordering over Memory **and the bytes inside regfile data**
needs provided at the ISA Level.
-This leaves a combinatorial explosion in the potential for confusion
-in communication, leading to utter chaos.
+The latter introduces at least another four potential areas for

+in communication, causing utter chaos and a proliferation of complexity.
Simple-V has made the decision that providing programmers with explicit
control over the byte-ordering when data is transferred in and out of
