The source is right there, you just have to grok it.

Good news: the universe is written in LISP. Bad news: with no comments.

Ostensibly. Honestly most of it was hacked together with Perl.

You can ask AI to comment an entire code base now in as much detail as you need.

Well, it's kind of a machine code for a self-modifying compiler, so there's that.

The source is not just dna - that's just one type of architecture that exists. There might be others that operate on different instruction sets.

The real source is mathematics. But some might say it's incomplete.

I don't have to check the source code to know that for me it's a skill issue :/
