"Same tech that I'd use to talk to somebody on the other side of the planet.  Or get the statistics from a million runs of a game like the one we just played, without anybody playing it.  Tools to make tools to make tools, hidden orders beneath hidden orders beneath hidden orders, if it was simple you'd have figured out more of it by now on your own.  You go look for bits and pieces of reality that can interact with each other from far away, you look for bits and pieces that you can arrange and rearrange into incredibly complicated dynamic patterns, and you take your books and turn them into patterns like that and let them interact with other people from far away.  If it wasn't for magic maybe being able to boost things in ways we couldn't do in dath ilan, I'd say that there was little chance we'd live to see it ourselves - not as mortals, maybe from the afterlife.  With magic, anything is possible so far as I know; you, of course, may know better."
