i spell how it pleases me. And the replicators are not a species, the az'gardare one of the four. and therefore belong in the first group, unlike the poisonous ashen who couldn't even master the gate system!
One could say that the Aschen were only doing what the Nox and the Ancients are doing. Proctecting more primitive species from a gruesome fate. Besides that... Look at the gate system and look at the series. Then you'll find out that it's impossible to master the gate system to all cordinates in case you don't;
a/ Got lucky as the the Tauri
b/ Have been allies with Ancients(as the Asgard and the Nox)
c/ Stole the information as the Gou'ald
d/ Been in contact with Ancients(which is probably the case with the Tollans, even though they're truly an enigma(much as ever, since they don't seem to be natural explorers either))
Without something to work from(like the Abydos chart) I would say that the chance is almost zero to decipher the gate-system. First you would have to find a path to another planet(and yet again, if you got lucky you might find the planet in "Fifth Race" or the planet in "Torment of Tantalus" or a planet some gou'ald has left behind with all the info on). Then you would have to reason out that the markings are actual coordinates. Then you would have to calculate for stellar drift. I mean, without a DHD and a planet nearby like Abydos, the chances are ZERO to decipher it... So please... Deciphering the gate system doesn't have anything to do with advancement, it merely aquires luck(otherwise the Tauri wouldn't have done it)... I mean look at it, and you see that noone has figured that gate system out without help or theft from the ancients(except the Tollan(eventhough nothings is known)) so why should it have something to do with advancement?
Regarding the Asgard spelling I just wanted to know why you do spell it that way... I didn't mean to attack your spelling. I can't remember seing that spelling in the series, and it doesn't occur in nordic mythology...
