I don't think you need more implementation details than a brief overview of how it works (store machine generated from smalltalk assembly code in methods with a special tag, execute that instead of method body if it's been generated).

Then spend the rest of the time on how you use that, starting at the bottom and building some NB-versions of normal smalltalk methods directly, then how you've implement an FFI on top of it, and how it could fit into a JIT/other interesting stuff written entirely image-side.

IE. focus on "how do/can I use it?" rather than "how does it work?"
