You can't, but that's true by definition for any empirical question. You can only do the best you can with the information you've got.
I'm not sure what you mean. I'd say that most importantly from you perspective, it's different because you failed to achieve your objective of creating a future being which falls under the criteria that you defined as ialdabaoth? The fact that neither you nor the ressuructed being will be aware of the failure happening doesn't change that a failure happened.
