+The following opcodes would be embedded into the final bytecode

+//idk
+EOF, PASS, ERROR,

+//general commands
+READ_INTO
+	[register] //read from the bytecode into the stack
+LOAD_INTO
+	[register, data] //load from the data section into the stack
+ASSERT
+	[register, "message"] //message could be embedded, possibly in a data section
+PRINT
+	[register]
+
+//can double as "assign"
+ADD
+	[lhs, rhs, dest]
+SUBTRACT
+	[lhs, rhs, dest]
+MULTIPLY
+	[lhs, rhs, dest]
+DIVIDE
+	[lhs, rhs, dest]
+MODULO
+	[lhs, rhs, dest]
+
+//GT can be replaced, probably
