    One problem with your theory is that even in your own video, you can see there are chunks broken off of the rings, lying on the ground. Yet you say they don't need repair.

    One thing I noticed about the seven rings at the end of the game that most people have probably already noticed is that 1. There are 7 rings just like the 7 Halo Rings that were made. 2. They are in the exact positioning although not the exact order as in Halo 3’s The Covenant level right before you kill Truth. 3. The two rings that are broken are the one from CE and in addition, Zeta halos. They are cracked the exact same way the actual rings are cracked. So how did they break in the exact formation as the rings they represent if they predate the Forerunners and possibly the rings themselves? They would definitely predate the things that caused such destruction on the rings, so how do those rings imitate the actual Halo Rings structure?

In my other comment, I mention how this ring gates are actually a network of wormhole Einstein rosin bridges connecting all the rings for instantaneous travel/teleportation between them. 7 halo rings, 7 ring gates. when those rings became destroyed, so did the ring gates corresponding to it. this is so mind blowing stuff!

    absolutely love how your theory videos have been structured, when you reach the ultimate conclusion, you let us infer and make the connection ourselves with the information you displayed through visuals and music before deep diving into the exact conclusion you made, not only making theory videos but making them narratively griping in their own right - which lore like this deserves imo very intrigued to see more of Zeta Halo explored in upcoming dlc, especially with how new concepts like the silent auditorium may relate to older ones like the primordial, its all incredibly exciting

    When you said "what technology did the forerunners have that could do this?" It clicked for me and I got chills. As someone who doesn't trust the introduction of causality-breaking time travel into a cannon, and who is VERY concerned about the hints leaning to time travel, this makes me a bit more hopeful. RE the constellation thing, what happens if you take the map you made and rearrange it to match how they would have been arranged before Cortana blew the ring apart? (Plate tectonics and its relationship to the distribution of ancient populations is a good comparison. EG: you can rearrange the continents to match their past configurations and suddenly the distribution of certain fossils will make more sense.) Also, what happens if you take the DIRECTION of the rings into account? If the tunnel in the trailer is made out of similar rings, maybe these rings are SUPPOSED to be arranged as a tunnel. (Either they need to be arranged as such to be used or something about their orientation is relevant.) I'm procrastinating from work atm, so can't look into this myself yet, but you have me curious.

    I'd like to mention that the 7 rings, in the end, are in a similar state we saw them in. One completely destroyed (Alpha Halo) One with a chunk out of it (Zeta Halo) and the rest are fine. I believe that these rings have specific relationships and connections to the other halos. The weapon did mention that those rings have info on all the rings and we also know that the Halos fire like how the rings reacted when you interacted with them (10:28). I also noticed the only rings we can interact with are not broken, much like how you can't fire a damaged Halo. What if these rigs were made to connect all the halo rings and their information and that Offensive Bias uses these to watch over the Halos themselves. The reason they are scattered is that he doesn't want any meddlers, ancient humans, or FLOOD to interact with them and learn? We know Offensive Bias is very smart so that the time-warping could be a by-product of space travel, because, in deep space, time is warped. (also the domain was shut down until Pax-Cortana opened it) Just a Theory, A GAME THEORY Sorry, sorry...

    Enemy within could refer to the forerunners seeing themselves as a threat to the mantle at the end of their time and finally seeing themselves as the precursors did before the forerunners wiped them out. After all their crimes against the mantle, their greatest being the firing of the halos and subsequent guilt, the last surviving forerunners believed greatest enemy to the mantle all along wasn’t some outward force or enemy like humanity or the flood. It was within, closer to home, it was themselves.

    I dunno, I think there's something far more interesting here and that's the design of them themselves. The design in these rings is all curves and circles and the same design/pattern, if not the very same, is scattered randomly throughout several interiors. Problem is they are completely out of place in the interiors as all forerunner architecture and even their language is all straight lines and angles. You look at any of the Forerunner's walls, doors, floor patterns, even the light bridges, and all of it is straight lines and angles. The only exceptions we see are in the icon of The Mantle which itself is circular but then made of lines and angles, a few forerunner symbols such as those for each Halo, and this design from the artefacts which are then copied and spread throughout Zeta Halo and only Zeta Halo. Just some thing to think about. Also, I have little proof but a random theory. The artefacts themselves are older than the forerunners, the codes and data streams the Harbinger are older than the forerunners, and the Harbinger can access and use, and even redesign forerunner tech unlike other races other than humans, then combine this with the fact Zeta is different from other rings as we'd expect from it being from the original array, but also the worries of the forerunners being masters who would become slaves... what if... and a big what if... what if all this and the truth they wish to maintain is because the forerunners didn't build the original array. What if the Endless did and the forerunners stole it from them wishing to take it out of their hands and prevent being overthrown, which is why they weren't catalogued either hoping they would be wiped out... and then found out the Endless were immune to the very weapon they made?

Dont know what to look up to show you but its on silent cartographer in the 1rst structure when you unlock the map room its center of the wall on the way back out right before the stealth elites attack The first time the "mural" caught my attention was on Regret in the Underwater section. After the hunter battle in the hallways I think it could just be a generic texture but it does have some interesting shapes on it like the "wings/guardian" lots of circular decals on it. Another great video dude👍

    Watching this video, I had a sudden thought about the Xalanyn, the race that Despondent Pyre dubbed 'The Endless'. Firstly, I assume that they were discovered somewhere in the vicinity of space that was hit by the pulse from Zeta Halo, since that's the installation that was moved to 'parlay' with them. So we have an installation that is known to have had some means of reverse-stasis technology on it, with rings and carvings that are supposedly older than the installation itself. And you have the Xalanyn, a species that was not catalogued before the firing of the Array. The Conservation Measure didn't manage to save even close to every sentient species in the galaxy, but as far as we know there's no evidence that the Xalanyn were known to the Forerunners before their discovery after the Array fired. Pyre wonders if her makers knew of them, but neither she nor we know the answer to that wondering. So I posit this; the Xalanyn did not survive the firing of the Halo Array, because the Xalanyn did not *exist* before the firing of the Halo Array. Their ancestors, a sub-sentient species, inhabited their homeworld at the time, and thus were unaffected by the Array's pulse. But at some point either before or following the firing, the planet ended up in a reverse timelock, accelerating the passage of time from the perspective of the rest of the galaxy, and allowing the sub-sentient inhabitants of that world to evolve into the sentient Xalanyn in less than a hundred years. The Xalanyn - the so-called 'Endless' - are the victims of circumstance entirely beyond their control, judged and sentenced for the crimes of another, for daring to poke their head out into a barren galaxy. Now this is a bit of a crackpot theory for a number of reasons, not least of which being that while we know the reverse timelock exists, there's no evidence that I know of allowing for the possibility of it encompassing an entire planet, let alone an entire solar system as might have to be the case. Second, who would set up such a scenario, for what purpose, and when? A rogue Forerunner element trying to bring life back to the galaxy by their own means? A Flood ploy to ensure that they wouldn't starve in the immediate aftermath of the Array's firing? Something else entirely? Still, the thought struck me, and I had to write it down.

    Weapon says, "We've been gone for three days." at the end of Infinite. Is it possible that they could've somehow teleported through a timelock after fighting the Harbinger or used one inadvertently in some way? The only other type of portal I can think of in the Halo universe that takes time like that is a slip space portal, but it wouldn't take three days to slip space jump across a ring to the other side especially since Zeta is the smallest Halo. Some form of time manipulation had to be present.

    It definitely supports the timelock theory. Despondent says, "time moves forward, and back again" and "their history is constantly changing" Perhaps the artifacts are time locks that are also capable of acting as reverse timelocks when necessary

    its starting to seem like this ring gates are star gates connecting the halo rings. Or to some secret mysteries part of the universe. Perhaps the covenant prophets were correct after all. And the rings have multiple uses as you can see. 1, they serve as artifical planets for sentient life 2, they are weapons to bring organisms like the flood under control 3. They also serve as star gates to travel from ring to ring, and possibly other locations across the universe far away from the galaxy.

    Personally, I assumed it would go along with the legendary cutscene dialogue. "Time is not a construct we can control" implies it was something... else- not forerunner technology, at least- that teleported them. Who knows what the hell that may be, but I assume we will find out in the upcoming DLCs for the game.

    It’s worth noting: Chief wasn’t teleported onto the ring at the end of the game. Look at the background. The ring is horizontal. If Chief was on zeta halo, that would mean he would be standing on a wall, not the ground. The ring is also far closer to the camera than it is when you simply look up, so Chief definitely isn’t on the other side. He’s on some sort of platform which is floating in the center of the ring. But what is this platform? Hmmm.

    I'm almost certain it's a design choice. The shot of the ring broken at the beginning is the same perspective from the pelican, and the ring gap is shaped exactly the same. The developers likely wanted to show the broken ring in the background, but only had the one object/scene to work with, so they hid the fact that it's the back side of the ring with atmospheric indifference and called it good 👍 Not to mention, if they were on a broken piece in the middle (which can't be seen in game anyway) there'd be no atmospheric indifference, and no dust particles in between to catch light and make it foggy. So either way it doesn't add up, and is probably just a creative choice

    Nice, I just realized, if the Endless are called this way because time as no effect on them, neither the Halos, then this method of execution, was maybe not working on them either or the forerunner would maybe just have killed them like the precusors and the primordial. But Since they also keep flood, maybe it was just to study them as the great Edict says.

    What if these artifacts are old prototypes of the halo rings, they have a very similar activation to the halo rings being fired, energy culminating into an orb in the centre to explode into an energy ring, only these hold data rather then a galaxy nuclear wipes, or alternatively they were made for holding data but some backfired becoming fragmented(or damaged) acting almost like a nuclear bomb which stopped them from becoming the normal data storage so they wouldn't risk having nukes everywhere, and this caused the forerunners to have a epiphany that would come to be the halo rings and how they would work. Either way if they were prototypes of the halo rings or were simple data storage devices that exploded giving birth to the idea of the halo rings, they would predate despondent pyre because no monitors would've been made until the halo rings were made.

    Some of the partially excavated sites show they were aligned before burial, you can see an example at the end of this video. Hard to tell if it's necessary intent from the forerunner's, or from 343 paying homage to the iwhbyd rings - with the end scene at least, there are 7 rings, just like the h3 iwhbyd rings. Not sure if it was hearsay or not, but I heard people mention the rings are even broken in the same order as the h3 iwhbyd hologram rings. If thats true then I'd lean towards homage than actual lore, but both theories are cool and could coexist!
