Yes, I think you are right, it will work that way. The 2 instructions after
<later> would work like an indirect jump.
If SState is not altered elsewhere in the program, then you could just as
well use a simple
        goto Idle

2's complement is a way of representing negative numbers. It is just 1's
complement + 1, that is all bits changed to the opposite, then add 1.
