a) A concept of "no computer is sealed from outside" is not a good analogy here, because it describes a common representation of avarage modern computer. The sci-fi-system I told you about some pages before is different, and completely sealed. It's impossible to make such system nowdays of course. But ME Universe is sci-fi universe, so we can really talk about unlimited possibilities here.
No, you misunderstand. This isn't about sufficiently advanced technology. This is about logical impossibility. You want something, anything to affect the real world, it must send and recieve to/from the real world. And to do so it must have some kind of link to the real world. It it is completely sealed, then it does not send and recieve to the real world, it does not affect the real world and it might as well not even exist.
Considering what I've said in (a) and before, I think it's impossible to hack the Catalist. But the original Catalist is still a person. And I believe it was a living being once, just like Shepard, but with different way of thinking. I believe it was unstable and ill person. Person, who has some reason inside him, but can change his way of thinking at will. First he wanted to solve the problem peacefully, then he decided to deal with it in completely barbaric way. Such person can be influenced, which was the weak spot of the original Catalist.
What I want to say here is that the original Catalist was unstable person before it became the Catalist. So, the original Catalist itself was also unstable and could be influenced. Shepard's and Galactic Civilization's actions convinced the original Catalist that its "solution" was wrong. It already tried different ways to solve the problem, but failed. So it desided to give the responsibility for the future to the person it thought deserves that the most - Shepard. So, if you roleplay the Shepard, who never gives up and has only one way of thinking, then your Shepard-Catalist will never repeat the original Catalist's mistakes, and will be completely Invulnerable. Its as simple as that: Shepard-Catalist's code will never allow it to do something stupid.
Ok I'm pretty sure this is a direct contradiction to what we see in the game. The holokid is an AI, a program pure and simple, and it was created to deal with this nonsensical problem.
I think you're coming way out of left field here with things that aren't logical and seem to go against what we see ingame. But it's not my job to tell you different so I think I'll just leave it off here.
