Contents of the GTP section. Part of the TPM hub. GTP specifies the instruction layer generically; TPS is the specification of the machine and governs above it.

The walk explains the instruction layer from nothing, in six pages.
- What the orders are, and who writes them
- How a rule gets fired
- When the rules collide
- What the agent will not do
- Keeping the pieces in step
- Saying what the work is for
The operator's guide
Four procedures, each opening with its diagram. The guide assumes the walk.
- Installing and verifying an instruction set
- Running a decision pause
- Vetting an input and handling a detection
- Branching a thread and requesting closeout
