I can give you a little bit of a start: I looked at the runtime recently, and its representation is here <https://github.com/golang/go/blob/8c1f21d9a2674dd9a410e0af94adf6fa7d2877d2/src/runtime/type.go#L28>. It doesn't tell you how the creation/translation happens, but it tells you how the low-level operations on it (like hashing, equality and conversions) are implemented. It also links you to the linker <https://github.com/golang/go/blob/8c1f21d9a2674dd9a410e0af94adf6fa7d2877d2/src/cmd/link/internal/ld/decodesym.go#L63>, the compiler <https://github.com/golang/go/blob/8c1f21d9a2674dd9a410e0af94adf6fa7d2877d2/src/cmd/compile/internal/gc/reflect.go#L842> and reflect <https://github.com/golang/go/blob/8c1f21d9a2674dd9a410e0af94adf6fa7d2877d2/src/reflect/type.go#L297>. >From there, you should be able to search for function calls and mentioned types to build a picture.
