Antescriptum is probably the closest to the root of the word “pro-gram”.

That's a good find, but I was unsure of whether "program" is semantically equivalent to "code" here. Plus I'm tempted to leave codex since it sounds so good.

    The Stanford law-as-code project used "codex", so I think it's good.
