A One-Instruction Set Computer (OISC) is a theoretical type of computer architecture that has only one instruction in its instruction set. Although it may sound overly simplistic, this model is used to explore the limits of computing and understand the principles of computation. ### Key Characteristics of OISC: 1. **Single Instruction**: OISCs operate using only one fundamental instruction, which can typically be used to perform various operations through clever encoding and manipulation.
