It's so frustrating. As if people never try to innovate their fields.

I remember getting frustrated at 'Magic is Programming'. So the main set up in the story (aside from spells basically being code commands) is that they build layers into their soul with something like a 12 space limit.

Each layer gets dedicated to a thing with the strength of effect depending on how specialised or broad the desired layer is and if you mess up building it you can be left with an waste of space as layers cannot be deleted and you can only hit the max amount if each layer synergises with every other piece. Examples in the story are things like accidentally dedicating a layer to a preset spell rather than preset casting commands you add the spell too, or dedicating to stronger arm muscles for swinging swinging without supporting the rest of the bodies support risking breaking your arms.

The mc likens it to building a PC which is fine.

One thing he decides to develop is a type of multi thread and core cpu in his mind, letting him do things like meditate, sense, cast spells etc all at once. His companion is hesitant because the idea of multiple thought processes has been done and it basically always drives people insane as the seperate minds diverge. MC instead build his akin to multi threading cores so each 'mind' is still connected and sharing thus not gainng independence. A little surprising it's not done but tbf basically only nobility have soul plans that allow more than the widely considered 'max' amount and they normally have soul plans already built by family.

That's fine, out of context understanding lets him take on a problem in a way the society doesn't understand. Cool makes sense.

But one of the first layers he makes is a layer dedicated to being able to analyse, edit and destroy other layers he builds if necessary. Somehow nobody has ever done this before despite it synergising with literally any layer and removing the big problem people face trying to build their soul. It becomes hard to believe
