As a preliminary step, this page lists Myst variable numbers and their meaning to aid the reverse engineering process. This is based on interpretation of VIEW conditional images and RLST scripts.
The mechanism of variables is not yet very well understood. Apparently, there isn't a one-to-one mapping between variable numbers and variables themselves; for examples, it appears you can access the same variable by different numbers, and different variables by the same numbers (e.g. numbers 102 and 103 hold the status of red and blue pages in every Age).
The scope of variable numbers seems to be local to the single stack (age). That is, variable 0 in Stoneship and variable 0 in Mechanical are independent. This raises the question of where global game info is kept.
