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.
