Yup, noted for correction. How about this one:

Now, it is *my* understanding that Mark is describing the term "launching"/
"boot-strapping" here. This is what I would refer to as "Self-splitting":

	Strategy of amplifying the number of processes that execute a piece 
	of code, using e.g. a SPL 0 instruction. "Paper" is a self-splitting
	replicator. Code example:

		spl 0
	loop	move bomb,@loc
		add #10,loc
		jmp loop

Or am I totally off here?
