Sort of like reverse compilation of a computer program?
The Mostali must do this, of course, and the Old Westerners of the Kingdom of Logic may have done. The problem is, and it's even a problem for the most brilliant Mostali thinkers, that the World has become a place of Change, Disorder, and Chaos. The old matrices don't work any more, and reverse engineered ones are full of bugs. These people, including some Very Old alchemists I suppose, must be searching for the source coding of a World Machine which is infected by Chaotic strains of viruses, and keeps on getting the calculations wrong. That the Mostali believe the Project Leader to be a heretical personification of Mostali culture can't, I suppose, be of great help for re-discovering a Grand Plan of Happiness for All in a Perfect Society.
