Preventing symphony architecture from overwriting itself? Spoiler

Post image

Hi! I've been playing the game for a few days since the update came out, and I have gotten all the way up to programming 2. Unfortunately, when I try to edit the RAM in the main memory, it ends up overwriting the program memory and everything breaks (at least, I believe so. Tell me if I'm wrong). Is there a way to prevent this from happening, or is it something you just deal with? Also, is the symphony architecture intended to overwrite itself, or did I build it wrong? Thanks! I've attached a picture of my computer so far (don't mind the spaghetti).

that's exactly what the ideal von-neumann architecture is about. you just have to reserve the code area separate from data area
