Well, one of the things I was trying to put into the Elements of Magic thread was the concept of a soul being to a mind like time is to space, or maybe the other way around; the process of a mind changing as it observes itself and its surroundings, where a "soulless automaton" only acts as it was created to act. Not always the same things as how it was intended to act, as any programmer can tell you, but without the capability to self-modify; it's basically just a more developed way of saying that "soul" is what's called fluid intelligence, as I put it in Bubblegum Disaster.
Which is all a long winded way of looking at what you've got in those two posts and saying "Seems legit!" I guess, but I'm trying to get back in the habit of articulating these things instead of just spitting out a quip.
