From the original article: “The [CASA] theory states that humans interact with computers as if they are human, and is the cornerstone on which all social human–machine communication (e.g., chatbots, robots, virtual agents) are designed. ”

This isn't correct. ModR/M and SIB are not prefixes. They are suffixes and essentially part of the core instruction encoding for certain memory and register access instruction. they are the primary means of encoding the myriad a

That's a very poor summary of what prefixes are. My advice, just skip the original article which isn't very good or interesting and read taviso's blog that is linked in the top comment (it gives a few concrete examples of the
