That's what I mean, though. How do we know that before Zahard there was no way for Regulars to climb the tower? How do we know that before Zahard, there were no Administrators?

It seems like a logical conclusion (I think the logic goes that Rankers are appointed as administrators by Zahard's government, so before him there were no Rankers and no administrators, meaning Regulars couldn't climb the tower and might simply not have existed), and there is some mention of him "opening" floors (which implys to me that rankers couldn't access a floor until he or another Irregular beat a challenge from its Guardian and set up some sort of contract to give it an Administrator who can then test Regulars), but I'm wondering what we should use as sources for that. It feels like it's been heavily implied without ever being actually stated.
