programming, the one power, and the wheel of time

Hello again!
Today, after finishing the 11'th book of the wheel of time, the last written by jordan, a spark of imagination came into being while I was thinking about everything that happened in the series so far.
Note: As I'm not using braille or whatever to read the books, I don't check the spelling of many of the terms in wot, so I'm sorry in advance if I misspell anything.
so, as every fan of the wheel of time universe is already aware by now, there are mainly three types of objects that have something to do with the power. angreal and sey'angreal are used for much the same thing, amplifying the warers ability to channel, in other words, making them be able to safely draw more of the source than they otherwise could without aid.
ter'angreal , however, instead of being used as a power magnifyer, they them selfs are made to use the power, so that, in some cases, even a non-channeler could, perhaps, use them, e.g the dream ter'angreal.
so, that being said, I think I have an interesting idea about a new ter'angreal , something that could expand the wot universe, even if only with a shortstorry or two.
note2: this is no longer the universe of the wheel of time, or at least, not the one we left with the last book, the towers of midnight. No one really knows what it is, perhaps the wot universe after a thousand years, perhaps a segment of the pattern that broke free during the last battle(maybe because of so much balefire and whatnot) and intersected with our own while drifting through the barier of the different universes? so as you see, no one knows for sure. What's sure however, is that now there are computers and programming and the industrial revolution already happened(this is called the high world) as well as the wheel of time universe almost unchanged from the perspective of the power, even if farming and stuff is slightly more mechanised and authomatised(this is called the lowworld or the downworld ). The historyes adopted a new calendar as well, the years are marked as BLB(before the last battle) and ALB(after the last battle).
in the past, there have been many wars between the two factions, some of them being almost as devastating as the breaking itself. You can imagine, the battleground being iradiated by thousands upon thousands of little, but not less dangerous, nuclear projectiles programmed and driven by powerful AI algorithms to seek out and destroy channelers, as well as by nasty weevs recovered from the age of legends(e.g compulsion) and some made to create so horible biological weapons as to make covid seemn more insignificant than the sting of a bea in comparison.
Note3: there, covid already happened, and was beatten with the one power, though interestingly enough, only saidin worked well enough to finish it for good.
anyway, after the three hundred and one'th battle(2396 ALB), with 2000000 dead and more than 200000 injured for life on both sides, the great council decided on a truce that holds to this day. So, each one of the two factions decided to give the other one square mile of ground from it's teritories to permanently pass under the others controll, and to send an ambasador to the other to see the peace is maintained. So, as long as nothing unfortunate happens to the ambasador, the law of the square mile is kepped, none of the factions creates weapons to attack the other and any such existing weapons are destroyed, no help regarding settling of protests, battles, or any kind of fighting is sent or accepted by either band, the piece will be maintained, and so has it been to this date.
now, in the underground laboratory of mr hokwing(hokwing's lab), scientists from both the high and low world are working tirelessly at something that will make the intire world look at it in aw, a computer, or as close to one, that would be able to channel the one power.
in 2398, the first prototype of the power machine was released to a very small indeed audience composed from dr hokwing himself, afew aes sedai selected personally by him, and the president of the united nation, the gost of robert jordan.
So, as presented at that event, the machine was able, using an organic CPU, to embrace the one power, even though that alone took all the power of the CPU, so no software, no OS, nothing. Instead, one needed to write precise instructions for how to create each weve, thing that, even with the templates and API documentation provided, was very difficult.
at the top of the machine, there was an opening just big enough for what we call a floppy disk, that was for the power modules, components that know how to access the two halfs of the source, saidir and saidin.
The scientists decided that, due to the so different natures of saidir and saidin, they would involve different programming languages for the weav making. So, for saidin, we'll use php, while for saidir we will use lua. What do you think of it so far?
so, for example, to create a very powerful shield, one might write something like this(let's assume that at least nine threads of spirit interwoven with fire would make a very powerful shield):
weaver.embrace-source()
weav_holder=weaver.prepair-weav(10) __ prepair enough of the power to hold 10 threads and be ready to tie them together.
for i=1, 10 do
w1=source.cast(constants.elem_spirit)
w2=source.cast(constants.elem_air)
thread=weaver.weav-thread(w1, w2)
add-thread(weav-holder, thread)
end
__try to detect channelers and shield the first one detected
chan=detect-channelers()
first=channelers[1]
pos=first.position __ it might be written as first["position"]
cast-weav(weav-holder, pos)
__the person is shielded
OK, so the same would go for saidin, but with php syntacs.
so, what do you guys think of my little invention? would it be worth it to create more content, for example the brainpot, a machine that would write the weav code based on what the person was thinking, so that even a person who can't channel can make resonably complecs weavs?
I am really interested to hear your feedback, I never came up with something like this before, so this is my first attempt.
another note: I made this thing in kind of an hour, no more anyway, so if it has plotholes in it, I think it's normal, I just put the idea out here to see what people think.
