Ciao Mat, In computing a quine is a special kind of phenomena. Briefly, its code whose output becomes its input where the input is the code of the program ... In other words its a self-contained system that changes itself where those changes persist between iterations. Its rarer than you might think.
TW is an true instance of a practical quine. In one way this is esoteric. But, actually, I think it really aids understanding TW stand-alone once you get your head round it. FWIW, https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Quine and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing) Best wishes.
