Apologies - I was attempting to referring to "absolutely no" garbage collection path. I was thinking of Epsilon [0].

Assume we are building a cruise missile flight computer. I have enough ram for ~100 hours of flight if we never clean up any allocations. I only have enough fuel for 8 hours of flight on a good day. Why do I still need a garbage collector? All I need is a garbage generator. The terminal ballistics and warhead are the "out of band" aspects in this arrangement.

I've spent weeks on this exact thing. I cannot get it to work. This gets me back to the first party support aspect.
