Yeah that's the line I was referring too. the seven seas translation is pretty much the exact same but page 24 of chapter 64 Gensei says Both her body and
soul will reach their limit. In the fan translation they use the term mind instead of soul. followed by; as an individual she will be destroyed and that she will loose everything. This sort of implies that if she were to reach level-6 she will loose her soul; but her personality will evolve/change or something. implying the personality and soul/mind are pretty much interchangeable and one can exist without the other. from what I can gather it really seems like a soul is what constitutes humanity more so than the individuality, while personality is more in line with the individuality.
Granted this is an example of an unstable transformation and that her loosing her soul could be what causes the destabilisation of the level up. so her personality could change; only for it to be destroyed a few seconds later, but Genseis wording seemed to imply that destruction of the soul/mind was done at the same time her personality is changed.
Also after the angel fall incident didn't Sasha mention that she still had left over telesma left in her body. which seems weird since you need both the mind and lifeforce/body of an entity to produce their respective mana, or in this case telesma. so my mind≠personality thesis may not be entirely true...
or volume 4 was really really dumb. so if Sasha's soul was still there during angel fall incident that would explain why gabriel was able to mimic Sasha flawlessly since a part of Sasha was still there beyond just her body.
Edit: Assuming the Mind/Souls dichotomy holds true, it seems the soul is the source of Mind Chakras/manas and the general body is the source of lifeforce. by extension Indian poker mixing and matching dreams from other Minds/Souls could be a way of influencing the development of the soul. from there if you would change the soul
(through dreams) and the body
(through cyborg tech); you could create being like artifical saints and such
(similar to the artifical valkyries that show up in NT4)

So I presume this "Boost code" is at least similar to virus that was installed in the Misaka network
(if they aren't the exact same thing), except unlike the virus installed in the network to stabilise Kazakiri this one was specifically for Misaka and subsequently affected all the clones physically
(by virtue of their similar make up to the original). Seems like theres a link since last orders situation seemed fairly similar to what happened to all clones during Gensei's experiment.
anyone else got some instances of personality/mind/soul citations from the series?
Edit: although accelerator does have a direct link to the misaka network I don't think the connection extends beyond just computing assistance. i'd imagine a connection between either the soul/mind or personality Would be requi-...is that what the dark may project was for?! this is crazy man.
