+# ProXPL V2 Architecture: High-Performance Runtime
+
+## 1. Executive Summary
+This document outlines the architectural transformation of ProXPL from a tree-walking interpreter to a high-performance JIT-compiled runtime.
+**Goal:** Achieve performance parity with LuaJIT/V8 and >3x speedup over CPython 3.11.
+
+## 2. Core Components
+
+### 2.1 Compiler (Frontend)
+Separated from the runtime, responsible for:
+- **Lexing/Parsing**: Producing an AST.
+- **Bytecode Generation**: Traversing the AST and emitting Register Machine IR.
+- **Optimization**: Constant folding, dead code elimination.
+
+### 2.2 Register-Based Virtual Machine (Runtime)
+A register VM reduces instruction dispatch overhead compared to stack-based VMs.
+
+**Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)**
+Fixed-width 32-bit instructions for cache locality.
+Format: `[ OpCode (8) | A (8) | B (8) | C (8) ]`
+
+| Field | Bits | Purpose |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| OpCode| 0-7  | Operation identifier |
+| A     | 8-15 | Destination Register / Operand |
+| B     | 16-23| Source Register 1 |
+| C     | 24-31| Source Register 2 / Immediate |
+
+**Core Instructions:**
+- `LOAD_CONST R(A), K(Bx)`: Load constant from pool at index Bx into R(A).
+- `MOV R(A), R(B)`: Move value from R(B) to R(A).
+- `ADD R(A), R(B), R(C)`: R(A) = R(B) + R(C) (Specialized for Int/Float).
+- `CALL R(A), R(B), C`: Call function at R(A) with args starting at R(B), count C.
+- `RETURN R(A)`: Return value in R(A).
+- `JMP_IF R(A), Offset(sBx)`: Conditional Jump.
+
+### 2.3 Memory Model (NaN-Boxing)
+All values are 64-bit doubles.
+- **Doubles**: Standard IEEE 754 doubles.
+- **Pointers/Tags**: Stored in the NaN space (top 16 bits).
+   - `0xFFF8` prefix indicates NaN.
+   - Low 48 bits are pointers or immediate values (Bool, Null, Int32).
+
+**Layout:**
+```
+[ 111111111111 0000 | ... payload ... ] -> Double NaN
+[ 111111111111 0001 | ... address ... ] -> Object Pointer
+[ 111111111111 0010 | ... integer ... ] -> 32-bit Integer
+[ 111111111111 0011 | 0/1             ] -> Boolean
+```
+
+### 2.4 Garbage Collection
+- **Generational GC**:
+    - **Nursery**: Bump-pointer allocation (extremely fast). Logic: `ptr = top; top += size;`
+    - **Old Gen**: Mark-and-Sweep.
+    - **Write Barriers**: Required when Old Gen object points to Young Gen.
+
+### 2.5 JIT Compilation Strategy (Baseline)
+- **Template JIT**:
+    - Pre-compile assembly snippets for each bytecode op.
+    - At JIT time ($$ > 100 runs $$), `memcpy` snippets into a specialized buffer.
+    - Patch jumps and immediate values.
+- **Deoptimization**: Support bailing out to interpreter if assumptions fail (e.g., type check failure in optimized code - primarily for later tracing JIT, but relevant for simple type guards).
+
