5. Sequence break instructions
Sequence breaks are jumps, branches and procedure calls and returns. In this text, we distinguish between jumps and branches, although this distinction is not made in all instruction sets:
the jump loads the program counter with an absolute address (CP ← Address ) ;

5.1 Unconditional jumps
The CP ← Address action can...
