(From the mainstream "lost his marbles") The minimum
needed to build your way further up some hierarchy of tools or
abstractions. After a bad system crash, you need to
determine if the machine has enough marbles to come up on its
own, or enough marbles to allow a rebuild from backups, or
if you need to rebuild from scratch. "This compiler doesn't
even have enough marbles to compile hello, world."
