1. The document discusses the basic types of computer instructions that must be included: arithmetic/logical/shift instructions, data transfer instructions, program control instructions, and input/output instructions. 2. It explains the formats of basic computer instructions, including memory reference instructions that use 12 bits to specify the address mode as direct or indirect. 3. Register reference instructions are recognized by the opcode 111 with a 0 in bit 15, and use the remaining bits to specify an operation on the AC register without a memory operand. Similarly, input-output instructions use the opcode 111 with a 1 in bit 15 and the remaining 12 bits to specify the input-output operation without a memory reference.
