The term you used was "Objects referenced from executable code". But that term
includes pretty much every object used in Elisp, at least until the object
becomes unreachable and is garbage-collected.
The concept you were describing is not that general: it's limited to objects
that are part of an expressions that are evaluated. So a better term would be
something like "Objects that are part of expressions that are evaluated" - but
this term is way too long; plus it doesn't accurately describe all the
problematic objects, as there are other reasons that some objects should not be
modified.
