+# The Rules
+
+SVP64 is designed around these fundamental and inviolate principles:
+
+1. There are no actual Vector instructions: Scalar instructions
+   are the sole exclusive bedrock.
+2. A hardware-level for-loop makes vector elements synonymous
+   with scalar instructions (the suffix)
+
+That said, there are a few exceptional places where these rules get
+bent, and this page tracks them.
