I like it.  It made me immediately think of gestation and child birth.  You
could call this early stage interface the umbilical interface.  But
seriously, if you really want to get at the very smallest possible starting
image, constructing one that is a sort of embryo that is still dependent on
its host and unable to live in the world on its own is probably the way to
go.  This minimal image wouldn't need a file system interface, a compiler,
and probably lots of other things that one built to live on its own would
need.
