But ... you don't feel a Glyph. There is certainly something there to sense, to feel - presumably the Membrane, or even the emitter-Organ underneath it ... but the Form of the Glyph is not Manifesting as you had hoped. It is either inactive, or it is secured against incursions such as this. Now, this isn't the end of the road, but if you wish to pursue this further, things get a bit more complicated - and dangerous. As you know where the Glyph is physically in the Realm of Shadows, then it should be ... safe enough for you to attempt to temporarily Manifest what you believe the Form of the Glyph should look like, based off of your Interpretation of the Glyph, into the 'space' in the Realm of Forms that the Form of the Glyph would be were it active. If your copy of the Form is close enough - and the physical Glyph is not secured against incursions like this - then reaching into the copy in the Realm of Forms will cause the physical Glyph in the Realm of Shadows to activate, which then in turn you should be able to reach into and get a proper feel for. However, if you don't manage it properly, or there is some security-surety that you have overlooked ... then things could go very poorly for you. Setting aside all of the nastiness that a security-surety could do to you while you are vulnerable from Projecting into the Firmament, the worse-case scenario for a failure would be a 'temporary' Manifested Form of the Glyph that becomes permanent, altering or even superseding the True Form of the Glyph. If that was to happen, then the physical Glyph in the Realm of Shadows would end up being subject to those alterations, and would physically change - not only would the Glyph probably break in the process, either you or the Construct would end up getting used for Fuel to make those changes.
Suffice to say, that is not a pleasant prospect ... though you really don't have any other options to deal directly with the Glyph. But <span class="mu-i">indirectly</span> ... you know that this Construct is active on some level, as it is alive. So unless there are security-sureties Woven in, then you should be able to reach for it. And if the Construct as a whole is designed in some way to interface or Fuel the Glyphs on the Membrane ... well, then if you were willing to accept the risks of reaching into the Construct instead, you might be able to isolate the portion of the Form that interacts with the Glyph, and from there make deductions about it. You'd also have the opportunity sense and feel the rest of the Construct's Form - but even though you wouldn't be delving as deep into the Firmament as you would if you continued with the Glyph directly, you are still taking risks. This is the emitter-Organ, and you still don't understand its targeting Logic. Who knows what could happen if you were to reach into it while you are vulnerable from Projecting?
