+### words to bootstrap from
+i want to make the kernel reasonably small,
+especially if i add an assembler.
+but obviously we need *something* to bootstrap from.
+(this list is Inspired by [miniforth](https://github.com/meithecatte/miniforth)'s builtins)
+
+- `!` (`val addr -- `): store a 64 bit word
+- `@` (`addr -- val`): fetch a 64 bit word
+- `c!` (`byte addr -- `): store a byte
+- `c@` (`addr -- byte`): fetch a byte
+- `:` (` -- `): compile a word from the current input source
+- `;` (` -- `): stop compiling the current word
+- `parse` (` -- c-addr u`): parse a word from the *forth init* (see footnote)
+- `latest`: a variable, the latest defined word
+- `state`: a variable, determines current mode (interp./compiling)
+
+on `parse`: i don't want to deal with file access and stuff from the kernel.
+so this word will be Upgraded in the forth init to read from a file.
