Let's do it bros. We have nothing to lose but our chains!

You can infer but the inference could not be confirmed as true apart from an intuition of an object corresponding to the concept inferred. If the object were a possible object of experience, then in principle you could at least search for the object in the space-time continuum that coressponds to your hypothetical concept, such as in astronomy, but how is the avatar in the game ever to possibly experience the source code beyond the game if all his knowledge can only be found in the game? Even a supposed representation of the source code given to the avatar within the game would still be a mere representation that is presupposed as correctly and accurately representing the source code and therefore appearing to provide the object to the avatar's inferred concept of the source code and appearing to give that concept objective reality. But this is never the case because it is only the player outside the game who has the higher standpoint from which to judge the truth of the correspondence of this inferred concept by the avatar to a transcendent object outside the game existing in some transcendent realm, the realm of the player. Your analogy presupposes the avatar could somehow attain the standpoint of the transcendent player, and in this way confirm the hermetic principle of as above so below, with respect to a transcendent realm, but as Kant shows this principle can at best serve as a principle to guide our researches on the nature of the immanent world of experience, in other words, as a metaphysical foundation for natural science, but not metaphysics proper, or, in accordance with your analogy, a systematic science of the source code.

Steiner admits Hegel already did it but apparently nobody got the message so Steiner had to try again. He said that in Wahrheit und Wissenschaft the preliminary to his Philosophy of Freedom.
