 Miden VM is a stack machine. The stack is a push-down stack of practically unlimited depth (in practical terms, the depth will never exceed $2^{32}$), but only the top $16$ items are directly accessible to the VM. Items on the stack are elements in a prime field with modulus $2^{64} - 2^{32} + 1$.
 
 To keep the constraint system for the stack manageable, we impose the following rules:
+
 1. All operations executed on the VM can shift the stack by at most one item. That is, the end result of an operation must be that the stack shrinks by one item, grows by one item, or the number of items on the stack stays the same.
 2. Stack depth must always be greater than or equal to $16$. At the start of program execution, the stack is initialized with exactly $16$ input values, all of which could be $0$'s.
 3. By the end of program execution, exactly $16$ items must remain on the stack (again, all of them could be $0$'s). These items comprise the output of the program.

 * When the stack depth is $16$, removing additional items from the stack does not change its depth. To keep the depth at $16$, $0$'s are inserted into the deep end of the stack for each removed item.
 
 ## Stack representation
+
 The VM allocates $19$ trace columns for the stack. The layout of the columns is illustrated below.
 
-![](../../assets/design/stack/trace_layout.png)
+![trace_layout](../../assets/design/stack/trace_layout.png)
 
 The meaning of the above columns is as follows:
+
 * $s_0 ... s_{15}$ are the columns representing the top $16$ slots of the stack.
 * Column $b_0$ contains the number of items on the stack (i.e., the stack depth). In the above picture, there are 16 items on the stacks, so $b_0 = 16$.
 * Column $b_1$ contains an address of a row in the "overflow table" in which we'll store the data that doesn't fit into the top $16$ slots. When $b_1 = 0$, it means that all stack data fits into the top $16$ slots of the stack.
 * Helper column $h_0$ is used to ensure that stack depth does not drop below $16$. Values in this column are set by the prover non-deterministically to $\frac{1}{b_0 - 16}$ when $b_0 \neq 16$, and to any other value otherwise.
 
 ### Overflow table
+
 To keep track of the data which doesn't fit into the top $16$ stack slots, we'll use an overflow table. This will be a [virtual table](../lookups/multiset.md#virtual-tables). To represent this table, we'll use a single auxiliary column $p_1$.
 
 The table itself can be thought of as having 3 columns as illustrated below.

+![overflow_table_layout](../../assets/design/stack/overflow_table_layout.png)
 
 The meaning of the columns is as follows:
+
 * Column $t_0$ contains row address. Every address in the table must be unique.
 * Column $t_1$ contains the value that overflowed the stack.
 * Column $t_2$ contains the address of the row containing the value that overflowed the stack right before the value in the current row. For example, in the picture above, first value $a$ overflowed the stack, then $b$ overflowed the stack, and then value $c$ overflowed the stack. Thus, row with value $b$ points back to the row with value $a$, and row with value $c$ points back to the row with value $b$.

 The initial value of $p_1$ is set to $1$. Thus, if by the time Miden VM finishes executing a program the table is empty (we added and then removed exactly the same set of rows), $p_1$ will also be equal to $1$.
 
 There are a couple of other rules we'll need to enforce:
+
 * We can delete a row only after the row has been inserted into the table.
 * We can't insert a row with the same address twice into the table (even if the row was inserted and then deleted).
 
 How these are enforced will be described a bit later.

-## Miden VM overview
+# Miden VM overview
+
 Miden VM is a stack machine. The base data type of the MV is a field element in a 64-bit [prime field](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field) defined by modulus $p = 2^{64} - 2^{32} + 1$. This means that all values that the VM operates with are field elements in this field (i.e., values between $0$ and $2^{64} - 2^{32}$, both inclusive).
 
 Miden VM consists of four high-level components as illustrated below.
 
-![](../assets/intro/vm_components.png)
+![vm_components](../assets/intro/vm_components.png)
 
 These components are:
+
 * **Stack** which is a push-down stack where each item is a field element. Most assembly instructions operate with values located on the stack. The stack can grow up to $2^{32}$ items deep, however, only the top 16 items are directly accessible.
 * **Memory** which is a linear random-access read-write memory. The memory is word-addressable, meaning, four elements are located at each address, and we can read and write elements to/from memory in batches of four. Memory addresses can be in the range $[0, 2^{32})$.
 * **Chiplets** which are specialized circuits for accelerating certain types of computations. These include Rescue Prime Optimized (RPO) hash function, 32-bit binary operations, and 16-bit range checks.
@@ -14,11 +16,13 @@ These components are:
 Miden VM comes with a default implementation of the host interface (with an in-memory advice provider). However, the users are able to provide their own implementations which can connect the VM to arbitrary data sources (e.g., a database or RPC calls) and define custom logic for handling events emitted by the VM.
 
 ## Writing programs
+
 Our goal is to make Miden VM an easy compilation target for high-level languages such as Rust, Move, Sway, and others. We believe it is important to let people write programs in the languages of their choice. However, compilers to help with this have not been developed yet. Thus, for now, the primary way to write programs for Miden VM is to use [Miden assembly](../user_docs/assembly/main.md).
 
 While writing programs in assembly is far from ideal, Miden assembly does make this task a little bit easier by supporting high-level flow control structures and named procedures.
 
 ## Inputs and outputs
+
 External inputs can be provided to Miden VM in two ways:
 
 1. Public inputs can be supplied to the VM by initializing the stack with desired values before a program starts executing. At most 16 values can be initialized in this way, so providing more than 16 values will cause an error.
@@ -31,15 +35,18 @@ The number of public inputs and outputs of a program can be reduced by making us
 For example, if we wanted to provide a thousand public input values to the VM, we could put these values into a Merkle tree, initialize the stack with the root of this tree, initialize the advice provider with the tree itself, and then retrieve values from the tree during program execution using `mtree_get` instruction (described [here](../user_docs/assembly/cryptographic_operations.md#hashing-and-merkle-trees)).
 
 ### Stack depth restrictions
+
 For reasons explained [here](../design/stack/main.md), the VM imposes the restriction that the stack depth cannot be smaller than $16$. This has the following effects:
 
-- When initializing a program with fewer than $16$ inputs, the VM will pad the stack with zeros to ensure the depth is $16$ at the beginning of execution.
-- If an operation would result in the stack depth dropping below $16$, the VM will insert a zero at the deep end of the stack to make sure the depth stays at $16$.
+* When initializing a program with fewer than $16$ inputs, the VM will pad the stack with zeros to ensure the depth is $16$ at the beginning of execution.
+* If an operation would result in the stack depth dropping below $16$, the VM will insert a zero at the deep end of the stack to make sure the depth stays at $16$.
 
 ### Nondeterministic inputs
+
 The *advice provider* component is responsible for supplying nondeterministic inputs to the VM. These inputs only need to be known to the prover (i.e., they do not need to be shared with the verifier).
 
 The advice provider consists of three components:
+
 * **Advice stack** which is a one-dimensional array of field elements. Being a stack, the VM can either push new elements onto the advice stack, or pop the elements from its top.
 * **Advice map** which is a key-value map where keys are words and values are vectors of field elements. The VM can copy values from the advice map onto the advice stack as well as insert new values into the advice map (e.g., from a region of memory).
 * **Merkle store** which contain structured data reducible to Merkle paths. Some examples of such structures are: Merkle tree, Sparse Merkle Tree, and a collection of Merkle paths. The VM can request Merkle paths from the Merkle store, as well as mutate it by updating or merging nodes contained in the store.
