It's in the same class of ideas as perpetual motion machines. In that case, it violates laws of thermodynamics, in the "no code" case, it violates Information Theory. The entire process of coding is about translating requirements into machine executable programs. The requirements cannot be condensed below a certain threshold and that's where the 'no code' promise fails. You can move around blocks of shapes but in the end they must represent the same amount of information and it just resembles code.
