I think what Andy means here is the actual text of the patch itself as you would find by looking at the .pd file in a text editor. e.g. #N canvas 218 94 842 634 10; #X obj 63 84 t a a; #X obj 63 241 spigot; #X obj 102 149 bang; #X obj 102 168 1; #X obj 223 149 route bang; #X obj 183 150 bang; ... Making 'self' a settable property would open up all kinds of lovely madness!
