"Besides, the HUD clashes massively with the overworld mechanics. Such discrete mechanics can only be explained through algorithms, and there you're already approaching the turing machine concept."

Except my hypothesis doesn't consider the HUD and overworld as two slashing systems. The HUD is merely the effect of what happens when your SOUL is set apart from your body, and how fighting styles have naturally evolved under said system. Remember, SOULs cannot physically hold things. It can't swing a sword in the traditional sense. It needs another way. And so, it designed this "other way", through evolution, just as many, many things were built from that.

Overworld mechanics do still apply.. It's just they're irrelevant at this point. Time is not broken, it's just you can't both use magic to perform an action and protect yourself from getting teleported inside the battle box at the same time, and enemy monsters will certainly take the opportunity to restrict you from performing your actions, and make an attack of their own.

So no, there is no clash.
