Can someone Explain Vex manipulation of Time

So… what powers do the Vex have over time. In instances like Venus and Neptune, we see the Vex able to insert themselves at an earlier point in time so as to have existed upon a given world for Millions of years. Yet conversely, we see things like the Vault of Glass suggest that the Vex only have true temporal control over specific areas, like the Vault of Glass. Does this just mean that Vex have absolute temporal control over everything within the Vault of Glass, and that their temporal Hijinks are limited outside of the Vault, or something else entirely? Then we’ve got the Corridors of Time, Saint 14, and the Undying Mind. From my understanding, the Undying Mind was made Undying because there were Simulated copies of it within the Vex Network that would replace a Dead Undying mind each time it died. Thus why we had to kill it over and over again. Was this the same situation as Saint 14, where we found a simulated copy of Saint 14 within the Vex Network, and with our power of Light, pulled him out, but if so, how is Saint existing outside of the Vex Network, and how does he have access to the Light? The Vex can’t predict Light and Paracausal based entities, only record (ie an event happens and they can recreate that event down to the atom, but they can not predict when or how a Paracausal event will happen) so it’s not a recreation of a Ghost. Meaning it has to be a temporal remnant of Saint 14. But how can we have that outside of the Vault of Glass where again, it was suggested that the Vault was the only location of Absolute Temporal Control that the Vex had. Honestly, Vex Time Stuff has always confused me to no end. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/264850435/0/0/1]Here is the Answer[/url]

  • As succinctly as possible..They run simulations on everything… then intervene as appropriate… The vog is slightly different in that it’s a closed loop giving the oracles infinite time to calculate… Your analysis was pretty good, far better than one of the “lore masters” offered anyway !
