rough ideas on how we can present and/or think of the liv/fe coding of the event:
1) as potential interface between code (language) and event (in language)
pre-scripting and description
to instruct, structure and construct the 12 hours by means of intervention, organisation
2) less algorithmic - an algorithmic approach would imply a structuring along a time scale (schedule and organisation, interruption and intervention, pre-organisation).
3) invention of a programming language to actively describe and code the event
(is just really a language but a language for doing or making) for the event
4) life coding is defined as:
a mapping of the descriptive means of programming into the world
life coding is: influenced by programming, instructions writing and execution.
life coding is not: a pure focus on aethetics of algorithms and code
5) the idea of: event macros
expansion of these at a certain point - the shift leaders acting as compilers or interpreters or indeed executioners of code. the CPU role (the idea of role indeed).
6) further notes:
to make plain escape from confines of the algorithmic and formalism - another kind of coding which is hinted at in code commentary introduction (Sadean whores as life coders - the telling of stories within a non-story told) and version control - and that distancing itself of version control (version control as a twin of code or software).

also relation to script but it is not quite that.
thinking in terms of the event: on blunt level we have intervention - within that which is given as a structure - for example interruption or re-scheduling - but the life coding is that which is giving this structure (specifications for 120 days for example, of roles)
the question of an interface of event and life coders/code
that which does not look like code
interface also in the same question of text and life coders
banal, formal level: markov chains and word frequency - a play with what the machine can know of the text (or the interface of a so-called formal language to text), formal restructuring, lexical analysis according to grammars, neural net - again a surface restructuring
but also the anagram and Wonderland
anagram software
rather than a play with the levels of that text (code commentary, macros - crossing the line into a literature of compilers and interpreters (meta-circularity), literature of the data sheet as a standing-in-relation to technology (to that formalism to come)
