He did try other solutions...so yea...and of course he is shackled...the only other unshackled A.I. was EDI...and she did not start this way.


There is no proof that he is shackled.  You can only speculate.

They why did he ask you to choose a new salution? Why use the fire examle?


He himself says he can not do them...he is limited...prove = he is shackled.

Why don't we harvest the damn AI instead of organics?

Becaues that doesn't solve the problem and they are harvesting both organics and sythetics.


Neither does harvesting both solve the problem.

Even the starchild said it doesn't fully solve the problem. He's just doing it because it's the only solution he can do. His programing is forcing he to do it.


It solves the problem of all organic life getting extinct.


So does wiping out all synthetics.

You understand his programing was to save both organics and synthetics. Based on his programing, wiping out synthetics is not an option.


So he kills both of them instead? [BTW when did he say both of them? I might have missed that.]

The logic is strong with this one.

What point to that he does. Based on his programing, he is preserving. If you want to point out they are dead, first point out how they are not alive now as a reaper first.

like i said probabilty requieres logic thinking... I guess Mordins behavior must have been really strange to you...because it is all he is doing...acting out of probabilty.

Because it's bad writing.  There is absolutely no reason why he would ask us to choose a new solution.  He shouldn't have given us choices at all.  Why?  Because it does not make sense why an AI that is programmed to stop synthetics from destroying organics would give Shepard that power.  Shepard might not believe the Catalyst's claim that synthetics will always rebel against organics.  So it makes sense why the Catalyst wouldn't trust him.  It doesn't make sense why he would.

Probability is simply referring to the likelyhood of an event...

There's a difference between selecting the most likely event to happen and stating that something will always happen.

Quite an obvious difference...

ARRRRRRGH...just accept that he has limits! which he himself admits. ergo he is shackled. 
It is bad writing if you ignore what is writting...you just want to say it is bad writting because it went over your head and you are not ready to accept that fact.

How is it bad writing? Reaping was not his goal so why should he not chance getting to his true goal when the oertunity open it's self. The true goal of the reapers is synthesis, not reaping. This was his last chance being that it's clear the current salution would end in the next cycle any way if he is not stopped.

I know your not. It's just the fact that he is a machine doing what he is programed to do awnsers all your claims.

Yeah...the catalyst or its creators ran the numbers and determend that the liklyhood is big enough to take action.

Completly rational logical behavior.

I can't believe I'm saying this but for once I kinda agree with maaze here.  For this particular example you can just chalk up the Catalyst's claims as craziness.  He doesn't have to make sense. 

However, I do think the Catalyst contradicts his own motivations, but that's a completely different point.

But that contradiction  is base on the ideal on what alive is. Unless he had a fix statment on what alive is then a solution like the reapers make sense in his perspective.

This is my point. The creators created an AI to solve the conflict between AI and organics ... then gave the AI powerful war machines to enforce that "peace." Then he rebelled against his creators and killed them. So first, his creators are morons ... second, he shouldn't be trusted. Personally, I destroy him and the Reapers, I'll face the "organic vs. synthetic" problem on my own terms, thanks

Yes I know that Reaping wasn't his goal.  But don't you see that by giving Shepard the Destroy option, the Catalyst is failing his goal?  It doesn't make sense why he would tell us.  

You're probably going to say "The Crucible forced him to," and that again is bad writing.  The Catalyst calls the Crucible a power source.  Why would a power source force him to say anything?  The Crucible engineers didn't even know that the Catalyst existed.  It makes no sense how a device that is a power source would force an AI that it wasn't designed to interact with to give us the destroy option.

So... they justified genocide of everyone based on statistical information. They need a serious lesson in ethics. Statistical likelihood doesn't justify mass murder.

This also directly contradicts the absolute statements made by the SC when he says will 'always rebel'. He claims it is inevitable - not just 'likely'. He is making a fallacy with these claims.

Making a judgement based on statistical likelihoods is different from justification based on absolutes.

Good. Then now the catalyst makes sense at least. It's a machine that is doing it's programing and went to far with it and it has to be stopped.
That all you need to know to understand it.

Maaze isn't saying the SC is crazy. He's saying he makes sense... when the SC doesn't make any sense.

Actually, the Catalyst says that the likelihood is 100%, and that this is why he does what he does.

Obviously there's no way to prove if it is 100% indeed. So his logic is flawed. For a logic driven construct that's kinda strange.

The Catalyst makes sense; he just has different opinions on what 'alive' means than you do.

Just because it's a rogue machine doesn't mean what he actually says makes any sense.

Just that it makes sense for him to be crazy.

The Crucible's options require physical intervention.  That's why he couldn't do them.  That doesn't prove that he is shackled it just proves that he can't pick up a gun and shoot the conduit in the destroy option.  Being unable to physically alter something and being shackled are not the same things.

Fun fact: Machine have different ethic, moral, and idealialogy then orgaincs.
They don't have the same morals as we do. To kill is nothing to them if there programing makes them. Even there concept of black and whie morality is different then use, to them it's not good or bad but what is it programing and what not in it's programing.
The problem is that the catalyst creator never placed any concept of organic moral in it. They just tasking it to solve something with out think how bad it can get.

Speculation. Don't pretend to know what synthetics feel/think.

Also, the ethics would apply to the creators, not the SC.

Still doesn't solve the probelm with the fallacy either.
