How is a jump realized by Not Gates?

I dont think that the jump can be realized by NOT gates, but it's essentially "where to find the next NOT command". The jump is indeed a crucial part of the language, as it allows going back, and especially to make self-modifying code.

I'm guessing by not jumping into a terminating/ halting NOOP.

The logic is within the branching.
