Everyone knows that the application we usually wrote is run on the operating system. And managed by it.
It means that the operating system is run on the machine. So I think that is PURE machine code which you said.
So, you need to study how an operating system works.
Here is some NASM assembly code for a boot sector which can print "Hello world" in PURE.
org
xor ax, ax
mov ds, ax
mov si, msg
boot_loop:lodsb
or al, al
jz go_flag
mov ah, 0x0E
int 0x10
jmp boot_loop
go_flag:
jmp go_flag
msg db 'hello world', 13, 10, 0
times 510-($-$$) db 0
db 0x55
db 0xAA

If you had installed nasm and had a floppy, You can
nasm boot.asm -f bin -o boot.bin
dd if=boot.bin of=/dev/fd0
Then, you can boot from this floppy and you will see the message. (NOTE: you should make the first boot of your computer the floppy.)
In fact, I suggest you run that code in full virtual machine, like: bochs, virtualbox etc. Because it is hard to find a machines with a floppy.
So, the steps are First, you should need to install a full virtual machine. Second, create a visual floppy by commend: bximage Third, write bin file to that visual floppy. Last, start your visual machine from that visual floppy.
NOTE: In https://wiki.osdev.org , there are some basic information about that topic.
