Ring off a ring ! Help please

[Jordan Henley]

Hi, I know you can’t put a ring off a ring, you should join a cable in the back box of a socket, take it to your new socket, then continue the ring until you get back to your original socket

But I don’t know the reasoning why you can’t make a figure of 8 ring main if you like,
Could someone help me please
Many thanks
