In The Name of the Wind sympathy magic just allows to move energy around. They are talking about units of energy that can be moved around and one emergency source of energy is body temperature with wizard’s chill as a danger. There are implied formula about decrease with distance etc. Thus that world wouldn’t blow up with IT.
The book is not about algorithms/programs though the magic domain of artifactory there could embed something like that.
