If the movie Tron were true, or The Matrix, and code was alive and sentient, things like this would be horror on the level of the Star Trek: TMP transporter accident.

It's beyond spaghetti code. We need a new word for it: Cthulhu code

Codethulhu. Though that name isn't mine. I grabbed it from an old story about a company that kept a code base composed exclusively of decompiled Java.

There's an entity in the Cthullu-verse that turns everybody that looks at it crazy because of its sheer complexity, isn't there?
