German computer pioneer Konrad Zuse discussed the mechanism of an feedback between computation result and executed program in 1983 in his lecture "Faust, Mephistopheles and Computer" and coined the term Devils Wire.

Nowadays computer use the same memory for both, so it is possible to write programs that manipulate their own program.
