Sure. The hang up here is SWEs belief those abstractions must be stored as some syntax they know; C, Python, RoR, Linux, Elixir... whatever.

There is zero obligation to capture the concept of memory safety in traditional software notation. If it was possible to look inside the hardware at runtime no one is going to see Rust syntax.

At runtime it's more appropriate to think of it as geometric functions redrawing electrical state geometrically to avoid collisions. And that's where future chip and system state management are headed.

Away from arbitrary syntax constructs with computational expensive parsing rules of the past towards a more efficient geometric functions abstraction embedded in the machine.
