The AGC has just been switched on. The hardware forced a restart (GOJAM), jumping to address 04000 and lighting RESTART. The software routine GOPROG found erasable memory empty, raised program alarm 01107 and did a fresh start. That is why PROG and RESTART are lit.
Verb 05 Noun 09 shows the alarm codes stored in FAILREG. R1 should read 01107: phase table failure.
RSET turns RESTART off in hardware and tells PINBALL to clear the PROG light.

Jobs are the AGC's long-running work. The Executive keeps up to seven core sets (12 words each, starting at MPAC, address 0154). Core set 0 always holds the job that is running; the highest-priority ready job runs next. When nothing is ready, the idle job runs and COMP ACTY goes out.
| Set | State | Priority | Job |

Tasks are short pieces of work due at a set time. The Waitlist keeps up to nine, sorted by time, and counts down to the first with the hardware timer TIME3; when TIME3 overflows, T3RUPT runs the task. Free slots point at the placeholder SVCT3.
| Due in | Task |
