(FIND) ( -- rec | 0 ), (DEFINE) ( value kind -- ) and (OPCODE) ( -- op | -1 ), entries 3-5. Names are refused as text.c's define refuses them, compared case by case with text.c; a set variable may be set again. 256 hash heads, records growing up and names growing down in dictionary space, used only while the ROM assembles. text.c gains the data directives #, and ", (the ROM's language; its mnemonic and reserved-word tables are data); the nucleus image is byte-identical.

capsules/
FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable, content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.
