When he learned the enchantment principles, Kyon understood that the three main professions of this world have the same purpose - to control matter or energy. With this in mind, he came up with a theory in which he was 99% sure. There was an empty slot in everything that existed, and he could enter his code in each slot.
Lovr was convinced that there was only one slot and a single-threaded code with a linear function. The underlying principle in formacy suggested single-threaded processes just like the binary code used in computing.
If there were two slots, then medicine could be enchanted without losing its properties. It also worked the other way around - the enchanted ingredients couldn't be used twice. Formacy collided with the two other professions.
