I spent the last three hours arranging all the arrays of the advanced array formation, then the intermediate and the basic array formation. It has been hectic the last few hours for Susan procuring ingredients at my wimp. She didn"t complain, and she earned my appreciation for that. I know I could always count on her.
Why did I spend the last three hours rearranging the basic, intermediate and advanced formations? How did I achieve it in mere three hours?
It only took me three hours to arrange all the arrays because I had arranged them before and kept the array cores I used to arrange those arrays. Since I had the array cores ready, it took little effort and calculation to rearrange them. But during this process, I unearthed a variable that I didn"t consider earlier.
The reason I rearranged all the array formations was that I wanted to hack them through the weak points of the array I had discovered yesterday night. But it turns out that what I believed to be weak points of the arrays only existed in the first place because of the unaccounted variables in the surrounding nature"s pathway. The so-called weak points in the array kept changing with the change in surrounding nature"s soul pathways. This means the vulnerability in the array changes depending upon the location you arrange them.
This deeply hindered my idea of creating an Array formation hack, a universal Array formation hack.
Creating a hack for an array was no longer as simple as dominating the surrounding nature"s soul pathways and knowing general knowledge about the array formation arranged.
In the new hack, Dominating the surrounding nature"s soul pathway remained constant. The knowledge about the said array required was more than regular as we needed to calculate the weak chains of the array and instruct them through the nature"s soul pathways that we dominate to do something other than what"s required of them to maintain the array.
The requirement of knowledge of the said array had increased above the general knowledge because I a.s.sumed the weak points of the array formation were constant when they were not. They change according to their surrounding nature"s soul pathway.
During my second round of experimentation with Array formation, I found the variable that I hadn"t accounted for in my first round of experimentation. Though nature"s soul pathways are open sources free for all to access and manipulate as they please, I forgot to account that they were very volatile. Yes, they were not constant. They kept changing based on the location.
The only difference between the first round of experimentation and the second round of experimentation was the location, which I hadn"t considered in the first round of experimentation, which led me to blindly a.s.sume that the weak points of the array are constant.
How did this affect the creation of my universal array formation hack? First, it increases the knowledge required about the said array as we need to calculate the vulnerability of the array formation in real time depending upon the surrounding soul pathway.
This meant that if I wanted to hack two soul energy gathering arrays 100 meters apart from each other, I needed to dominate surrounding nature"s soul pathways and then calculate the vulnerability of both the array formation separately even though they were literally the same array as the vulnerability of both arrays were different despite them being fundamentally the same and arranged by the same person due to the difference in their location.
The open-source trait of nature"s soul pathways made it easier for anybody to access the soul pathways used in a particular array. Its volatile attribute acted like security to the soul pathways used in a specific array.
Because of the volatile attribute of nature"s soul pathway, the same array formation arranged by the same array master in two different locations had inherently different vulnerabilities. In a way, nature"s soul pathways themselves were the best first layer of security for an array formation.
The idea of creating a universal array formation hack was still underway, but it had become more sophisticated, and I needed to gain my hands on more array formations of different tiers. But meanwhile, I had walked into a new project. Something opposite to a universal array formation hack, a versatile array formation core.
The idea behind the versatile array formation core was one core for all the array formations but for now, the 78 basic, intermediate, and advanced array formations that were taught in Lorenzo"s study material because they were the only array formation I had mastered so far.
If I had a single core that could be used to arrange 78 different basic, intermediate, and advanced array formations at my wimp, how awesome would that be? But there were challenges to achieving that. And they were pretty much the same challenges I faced with creating a universal array formation hack, Location, and knowledge of the said array.
These two challenges were not a big deal for me with my soul pupils, three slave consciousnesses and Hive AI. I could overcome them. But they became a problem if I wanted to commercialize the universal array formation hack and versatile array formation core. I was a long way from being able to apply for a patent for these two ideas.
Unless I had a working product, publishing this research would only be considered a theory, and everybody could have a crack at it. And then these projects of mine would become a race for everyone, and whoever wins the first place would apply for the patent. I was not a fool to sow the tree, only for others to pick the fruits.
For now, I would be satisfied if I could achieve a working prototype of a versatile array formation core with 78 basic, intermediate, and advanced array formations that were taught in Lorenzo"s study material. Since I had all the materials I required for the creation process, without further delay, I began the creation process.
