Your Actually Portable Executables now contains a simple virtual memory
that works similarly to the Linux Kernel in the sense that it maps your
physical memory to negative addresses. This is needed to support mmap()
and malloc(). This functionality has zero code size impact. For example
the MODE=tiny LIFE.COM executable is still only 12KB in size.
The APE bootloader code has also been simplified to improve readibility
and further elevate the elegance by which we're able to support so many
platforms thereby enhancing verifiability so that we may engender trust
in this bootloading process.

“Seymour Cray didn't care that 81.0/3.0 did not give exactly
27.0 on the CDC 6000 class machines; and he was universally
respected for making the fastest machines around.

Your Cosmopolitan TinyMath library provides hardware-accelerated scalar
transcendental mathematical functions that are superior to the portable
standards-compliant math library, in terms of both performance and code
size, by trading away focus on temporal concerns, like IEEE conformance
or rounding errors at the femto-scale, or reproducible results across a
broad array of niche machine languages.
