Overview ​

The processor is the CPU of Pinokio. It follows the same scheme all modern CPUs implement (fetch-decode-execute cycle)

You can think of Pinokio as an autonomous state machine that loads its updated state in realtime and executes commands based on its most recent state, for every step.

1. Fetch (Loader): The loader engine instantiates the state machine (including the memory as well as self, which refers to its own code)
2. Decode (Template): The template engine takes a template expression and instantiates it using the current state provided by the loader
3. Execute (Runner): The runner takes the instantiated request and executes it.
