Users' mental capabilities seem independent from their current form, that's notably what allows them to retain their consciousness/abilities when turning into homonegenous forms with no cerebral structure (stone, water, gaz, etc.).

Lawrence's case is a bit special on this regard. Being a piece of Prime Undefineness, his mental capacity is completely unlimited, instantly processing all collected informations in their smallest details. Combined to History Absorption, this is what allows him to immediately understand everything about any object/phenomenon/entity he interacts with, and design many modified/upgraded versions in literally no time (analysis and recombination).
