Comments explaining what the code does, which is what an LLM could answer, are basically useless comments. Comments that describes why the code is how it is, is a bit more valuable, but also something LLMs cannot really reliably infer by just looking at the code.
Mathematics is the FORTRAN of the real source. Closer to a real source is probably "real" things like atoms and other universal things.
If I remember correctly, Stargate-SG1 at one point had some ideas about this sort of universal language, that multiple species could use for communication, as any sufficiently intelligent specie probably been able to see atoms and so on, but may have completely other way of doing "math-like" stuff.
Good news: the universe is written in LISP. Bad news: with no comments.

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

I like to imagine perl was bootstrapped from forth and used to build a lisp
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'm still waiting for the slackers at CERN to finish decompiling it.
that's great, could read the source code on how to unify gravity and quantum mechanics for all energy levels? vibeing to a nobel price will be cool...
