marbles: pl.n. [from mainstream "lost all his/her 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."
