It seems rather likely to me that the Regular system was actually designed or at least inspired by V. From Eduan's comment that it was V who was interested in the Tower's inhabitants and remarking that everyone else wasn't interested to Jahad being called the fake king to Headon, whose role it is to recruit Regulars, working towards dethroning Jahad. Might have even been that he exchanged the proposed immortality for that very system. That would kind of make him the king of the people instead of Jahad who got the credit for having taken pity on the people and allowing them to climb. It could also have something to do with his death, but whatever the details aren't that important.

In addition to that, I have long thought about some of the big plot developments. One of them being that Regulars aren't truly considered worthy to climb, and that the perception of their inferiority is something that they will fight against.
