    The program rom is the set of instructions that control how the computer operates. The most common way to get it is to read the chip which it's stored on. A person must then either find documents describing what those instructions are accomplishing, or a person must follow each instruction to figure out for themselves what the instructions are attempting to accomplish.

    Imagine a set of directions which tell you how to walk from Boston to NY City step by step. Now imagine having that set of instructions but not knowing what they actually describe. It would take a lot of work to figure out where you're going by reading the left, right walk, and stop values contained in the instructions. There is a similar problem with disassembling a vehicle computer's code.
