Scalar
Begin with the scalar instruction surface and its architectural operands, control flow, memory access, arithmetic, and system forms.

Architecture
One released architecture, read in order through Scalar, Block, and direct Tile instruction surfaces.
Start with the whole
One architecture, three instruction surfaces
PTO defines one architecture-visible contract. Its released source tree separates shared architecture state and rules from the Scalar, Block, and Tile instruction surfaces that use them.
Read the architecture owner first. Use the three surface chapters below as navigation, then open each unit's embedded source and evidence when implementation detail is needed.

Block
Continue with the explicit Block and command surface: lifecycle, execution descriptors, operands, attributes, and control state.

Tile
Then read the direct Tile operation surface, organized by computation, reduction, layout, matrix, and data-movement families.

ADR explains why. NDF points to what is current.

Architecture Decision Records
ADRs preserve reviewed decisions, rationale, status, and affected owners. They are history—not a replacement for current ASL/NDF meaning.

Normative Design Framework clauses
NDF identities are embedded in their owning ASL sources. The explorer connects clauses to owners, tests, and ADR history without inventing new semantics.
