Okay, I’m going insane and feeling really stupid. When it says “jump to [position]” how do you know what hand to jump? ---

The jump to instruction is not used to move your hand. It is used to jump to an instruction in the code. For example, jump to line 2 would mean to start executing the code on line 2. It is mean’t to provide a way to loop through the instructions. ---

I thought the same when I first started using the Human Machine Language. It is a common mistake.
