-TODO: Explain the meaning of each element
+- The first 6 fields: `off_dst`, `off_op0`, `off_op1`, `dst_reg`, `op0_reg`, `op1_src` determine the memory locations of the operands, and the destination of the result (which is not always used).
+- The `res_logic` field determines how to compute the result (op1, sum, multiplication). The usage of the result depends on the following fields.
+- The `opcode` field describes which operation is been performed (noop, assert, call, ret, call). It modifies the meaning of the following fields.
+- The `pc_update` field determines how to update the program counter (advance, jump, branch, etc.).
+- The `ap_update` field determines how to update the allocation pointer.
