I took a class where we had to make a compiler and it needed to be able to shoot off an error if either of those occured. (That it could detect). I don't think it'd be possible with arcanima because aether's still a limited resource.
From what we've been given lore-wise for Aether, SE has said it's similar  to FF7 lifestream. We know that living things are born from it and return to it. The game directly states that people have different sized aether reserves, which in a programming mindset, would be like physical memory. I've seen others refer  to aether reserves like a cup. You can only use so much liquid in a cup until it's gone and you have to wait to fill it up again. Not all cups are the same size, and some can hold more, some might only let a little liquid out, etc.
I know, I was just having fun will rolling with it to see how possible 'similar' events were.
I'm a developer myself that's where my mind set comes from.
It's just my opinion, though. There's really no need to go spreading it around.
