I don't get why you feel it has to be a "ring oscillator". There are
many different timings each one adjusted to match the circuit it is
timing.

Sure, when the I/O doesn't tell the control circuit to halt operation,
the timing circuit in use triggers the control circuit which in turn
triggers another timing circuit according to the instruction decode and
I/O signals. I just think it is a bit simplistic to call this a ring
oscillator.
