:I don't see "von Neumann" anywhere in the article, but I think that the relationship is that the [[von Neumann architecture]] envisaged a computer with a single memory space comprising both data and instructions. Self-modifying code would require that a program be able to treat a piece of memory as data and then reach it as an instruction, and would not be possible on a non-von Neumann computer with, for example, separate code and data spaces.

== Apple II copy-protection citation? ==
 
Does anyone know if there is a citation for the anecdote of using self-mod code as a copy protection technique on the Apple II? I remember reading about it somewhere 20 years ago when I was 'into' the Apple II in high school (back when "20 megabytes" was considered "really in-humanly humungously big" LOL) [[User:Jimw338|Jimw338]] ([[User talk:Jimw338|talk]]) 21:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
