"So where did these self-programming programs come from? Outer space?"

That would be the equivalent of the question "what is origin of life". Evolution does not cover that.

Life works within it's framework and evolutionary algorithms work within theirs.

They evolved, in many cases from totally random collections of initial bits. I've personally watched this happen.
