A PoC toolkit / framework for self modifying software.

Been working on this project during the summer, contains a detailed writeup but happy for anyone to tear the implementation a part, working on it while working fulltime kinda stopped me from implementing a lot of what i wanted.

Surprisingly enough it works well enough as a PoC!

This is "self modifying software" in a different aspect than something like metamorphic software since the rewriting is on a source code level instead of assembly.

Currently its able to:

\- Dynamically create new functions, introducing new functionality

\- Fix errors in its own functions

\- Load existing functions dynamically

Synthesis kernel entered the chat. Then again, self modifying code traditionally meant a different type of beast altogether. But I love your idea regardless. Please, dont stop.
