Vex Logic; Summary I (Motion) So, we've all been trying to figure out what the Vex are doing, planning and how they manipulate time to achieve these things. I'd just like to remind everyone of a fact that sometimes slips my mind and might slip yours too; literally EVERYTHING the Vex do/don't do is on purpose. To be frank, every kill you make, every conflux you scan, is what the Vex want. The Universe is a set of logical consequences and the Vex are (or were, thankfully) taped into. Every choice leading up to our killing the Heart of the Black Garden was likely planned in advance. Think, the Vex in the Garden were bowing down to the Darkness which is a non-Vex source; they were disobeying their programming. Our actions pruned a defective set of logic and gave Atheon higher dominion over the remaining Vex units. The Vex also WANTED us to breach the Vault. There was only one thing the Vex did not see coming; Kabr. The Aegis in the Vault is a paradox, you see, and they are the only way of destroying the logic (Vex logic) that the Vex control. You see, in the same way that the Oracles, Gorgons and Atheon himself create holes in logic and throw you into them, Kabr's shield creates a paradox that even Atheon cannot correct. The Shield breaks through the Templar because it causes the Templar's barrier to have never existed; the time we shoot at it is time the Templar uses to recreate another barrier. Atheon cannot shoot through the cleansing power because his shots get pulled into the paradox. And the Shield can cleanse Guardians because, in the alternate reality being near the Shield generates, you were never infected. In killing Atheon, Guardians defy logic and, literally "make their own fate", manipulating reality in a similar way to the Vex. Kabr, in binding himself to the Vex, has become a God.
