I agree it will not be entirely knowable, because, in my view, the self structuring information system that was deciding things at the beginning has since modified itself beyond recognition, which is something that seems to be becoming more in evidence.

If you would be kind enough to explain something I do not understand about inflation, it would be much appreciated. In an Inflating Universe there has to be an energy gradient. Things measured at one energy level within that gradient are not necessarily the same as at some different level within the same gradient.

To use the simple analogy, you have Ice = solid, water = liquid, and water vapour = gas. Different physical laws apply to these different energy states. How do we know which Laws were applying to different energy states when things seemed in a state of flux and would some Laws have disappeared? If they have disappeared then might we know what they were?
