==Layer 01==

A teacher is seen copying some C code onto the chalkboard in [[Layer 01]] just before Lain's fingertips begin to emit [[Paranormal ~~occurrences~~|ectoplasm]]. It features a yen symbol instead of a backslash in an escape sequence; this is because certain ~~japanese~~ fonts render the backslash character as the yen symbol, such as the UD Digi Kyokasho font family. It is unclear whether or not this is intentional or holds any significance. Part of the code is not visible because the teacher is standing in the way. It reads as follows:

=== CRowView.CL ===

CRowView.CL contains code for John Conway's Game of Life.[http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/lisp/code/fun/life.cl] The ~~[[Staff|creators]]~~ probably selected this code because of its seemingly [[God|omnipotent]] implications (i.e. creating worlds and life).

=== Afx-n-nPrv-View.CL ===

Afx-n-nPrv-View.CL is the source for a code walker.[http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/lisp/code/codewalk/walk/new_walk.cl] This was probably included for its tongue-in-cheek reference to [[Apple Inc. ~~references~~ | Apple]] in a section of code that is commented out.
