"""Exact self-reproduction for the SUBLEQ threshold host.
This module supplies the parts the universal constructor needs in order to
emit its own complete instance and not only its weight file: a tape device
with a rewind request and an end-of-tape status, the three-phase program P*,
the framing maps ser / inst, and runners for the three evaluators.
Device (memory-mapped, all logic in the runtime, none of it in the netlist):
0xF9 C_WR write request writing 1 emits R_OUT, then R_OUT <- 0
0xFA C_EOT end-of-tape status maintained by the device
0xFB C_RW rewind request writing 1 sets the head to 0
0xFC C_RD read request writing 1 loads R_IN and advances the head
0xFD R_IN input register
0xFE R_OUT output register
0xFF halt program counter
One step is: execute the SUBLEQ instruction, then apply the device to the
resulting state in the order (write, read, rewind, clear requests). A request
fires on the value 1, not on the fact that the cell was addressed, so the
device reads the machine state and nothing else.
Program variables:
0xF0 Z constant 0 (restored by every instruction that uses it)
0xF1 ONE constant 1
0xF2 T1 scratch: repeat counter
0xF3 T2 scratch: literal counter
0xF4 NEG1 constant 0xFF
0xF5 EOK constant 1, the end-of-tape test target
