When you write code, you have to compile it. Here is an easily readable if statement in C:
If ( trump_count > biden_count)
{
trump_count --;
biden_count++;
}
That says if trump has more than biden, then subtract 1 from Trump and add 1 to Biden.
That is an oversimplified example but there would have to be something along those lines in the Smartmatic/Dominion code. So we should be able to get that off of the machines right? Wrong. Machines don't read code like that. That kind of code is compiled so that when it gets on the machine it is all just 1's and 0's and the program called the compiler creates that code and it is generally unreadable.

If we knew what the compiler they used was then we could decompile the code and have our smoking gun right there in the code. However, I think they thought that through and created their own compiler so that if the code and compiler are subpoenad, they can hand over a compiler that was designed in a way to obfuscate the offending code.
If you think writing your own compiler is hard, guess again. You just need to know how the CPU works and how storage and memory are addressed. Even that crazy bastard that wrote TempleOS wrote his own compiler.
I cannot believe we aren't dissecting the code forensically, and if someone is, that would be the absolute best way to prove this, beyond statistical analysis, eyewitness testimony, etc.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Compiled code gets converted into machine language, essentially just a bunch of numbers. The following instruction x86 instruction:
Raw can look like this:
These numbers are just random, unless you assign meaning. 00 15 could be the x86 opcode for 'MOV' and then the CPU knows that MOV takes 2 operands, a destination and src and reads a certain number of bits ahead for each operand. This is how compiled code works, it reads a number, this gets converted to a CPU operation, and then each CPU operation has a number of operands that the computer has to read.
This is why you have to compile for each target machine x86 vs ARM vs SPARC or 32 vs 64 bit. And to reverse engineer any compiled program, you need a decompiler because it gives you context to the bits.
