Question: Does the VM send messages in order to send messages?

Hello,
A question about the Squeak VM internals I'd like to ask, since it
would probably be quick to ask and slower to read the code. (But a
pointer to code would also be appreciated.) Does the VM send Smalltalk
messages in order to resolve Smalltalk messages? Or does it just
dereference pointers? In particular, I'm interested in how the VM
walks the Class hierarchy and reaches into Method Dictionaries to
resolve message sends.
