The origin is from the Abrahamic mythology, as Satan's insurrection - 
an insurrection of refusing to be ordered to put others above self - 
be it by God, morality or other more visibly internal mental diseases.

I have to my dismay later found a source in muslim theology: Satan 
refused to serve Adam because he wanted to serve God (Allah) only, 
and therefore uttered "I will not serve" specifically in reference to 
Adam.

So I *am* considering a name change? Suggestions are welcome. My 
favourite so far is "i" (just a lower-case i), both for the obvious 
reason, and as a mathematical pun on Sid Parker's magazine "-1".
