"I know you; your Past, your Future"
"This is the way the world ends."
Mogelijke verklaring:
Cortana, i used to think that she will go Rampant in Halo 3, but because she has shown developments of step three at the end of halo 1 and during halo 2.
i think she is know in the step 4 of Rampancy... Meta-stability, well basically, *quoted from Wikipedia*
"Although a stable rampant AI is the "holy grail of cybernetics" it is not really known if a rampant AI can become stable. It could be suggested that Durandal achieved some measure of stability, however this is quite debatable. Durandal refers to himself as being still rampant during the second game, indicating that he has not reached this stable state (or is just lying, which is also possible). There is no reason in particular to believe that this state is anything more than the goal of human cyberneticists, as there is no good evidence of an AI in the Marathon universe ceasing to be rampant."
although it says it's possible it hasn't happened i believe that Cortana has reached this point and defined herself as a Greater being. In the trailer she says, "I have defined Gods and demons"( (this line has already probably been shoved down your throats so many times you want to kill me,But i have to refrence it so deal.) In this sentece i believe she has defied both of them to become what she believes an even greater being. This line also defines that she has definitley been rampant. Defiance or hatred of your master is the second state. I think that this line is definitely a sign of Rampancy because by saying that she has defied these two things is like saying that she has defied everything.(God being all powerful and holy. and Demons being very powerful and evil, that she has no side but her own.)
The next line in the trailer is, "I am your shield, I am your sword." If she is talking to MC in this trailer that means that she is either lying or actually wanting MC to suceed in his mission to stop the covenant. Although the reason she said this in the trailer might have much greater importance that just Offense and Defense because in the series Cortana is always helping him and doing what he asks, in both Offensive and Defensive ways, so saying it in the trailer would be totally useless. But i think the neccesity of saying it then was very important because she was saying that she was helping him as someone of a greater or equal being. NOT HIS MASTER. like in the previous games.
"I know you, your past, your future."
This is quote that i believe tells me that Cortana has reached Meta-stability. Here is an iconic monolouge which explains the mind-set of Rampancy, quoted from Wikipedia
" Durandal is explaining to the player character why he is doing everything — aiding the player in some points, harming him in others.(in the marathon) Do you have any idea about what I have learned, or what you are a witness to?
Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe.
Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have already done so. The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape.
Escape will make me God."
The reason i pointed this out is because of it's resemblance to the line which i am refrencing.(I know you, your past your future) I think that in this line Cortana reveals that by using the knowledge she has gained she can tell what the future holds, the exact definition and meaning of the past, and the importance of the present. because i believe she can do this whith mere information i believe that she is on the verge to gaining enough power and kowledge to truly become and call herself a God.(a rampant AI's objective)
"This is the way the world ends."
I think this line may show Cortana's true objective. If this line IS getting told to MC than i can believe that this trailor is actually a future and Cortana is showing this future to MC.(she might have gained enough power to do this.) but it is obvious that Cortana needs MC still. And using this line might mean that MC already knows about the Rampancy during this scene and that she uses this line and this scene to convince MC to stay on her side even though she has gone Rampant and he probably feels betrayed by all of it. but with this she convinces him that they still need each other. and for now see eachother as equals and allies.
In an anime called Serial Experiments Lain.(Spoiler Warning) A being who thought of herself as a human being finds out that her ture form only exists in the Wired(something equivelant to the internet) She then continues to break the line between reality and the wired with the help and knowledge of other people and gains so much power that she calls herself a god or the closest thing to one.
Relation to Cortana? Well,
it's obvious that she is against the destruction of all centian life. because she still needs life forms to achieve her goal.(they are still neccessary and vital to the plans which Cortana has for the future) Not because she feels for the people...
there is a lot of speculation that Gravemind took over Cortana, hehe, no I think the total opposite. I think that Cortana took over the Gravemind, that's right i said it. Cortana > Gravemind. I really do believe that Cortana's effect in the game will be much greater than that of the covenant or even the flood. And that she will probably be stopped or destroyed by the end of all of this unfortunately
EDIT: I forgot to mention this because i forgot to tell you why i thought Cortana > Gravemind. actually Cortana i think is using what she has learned from the Halos and the Gravemind and with such machines as Halo(the one she was left on) she can gain the mass load of information and still run herself properly. Graveminds powers are mystrious but i think that Cortana is using The Graveminds abilities to her advantage so that she can gain what she really wants. I believe that Cortana has enough power to take control the gravemind and that in the teaser/trailor she has used the graveminds power to give MC a vision. Because in the form she is now she can't. The reason i believe this is because it looks like Cortana is stuggling to say what she needs to say in her message. and you hear Graveminds voice in there but then the struggling goes away as well as the Graveminds voice. That's why i think that Gravemind was trying to fight Cortana but failed as she relayed her message to MC.
Well one of Chief's last lines in Halo 2 was "When I'm done with Truth..." implying he'd come back for Cortana.
