The Catalyst does not say it has evolved - it says it is not "just an AI."
By its statement the Catalyst sees itself as an advanced AI.

Excellent point. I stand corrected.

BaladasDemnevanni wrote...
Wait, wasn't the point of that statement supposed to be that the Catalyst rejects such a restrictive classification?

What I would point out is: Because it did not state itself in exclusion from an AI within that particular statement, it has, by extension, also not excluded itself from the description "synthetic."

I'm not bothered by his motivation - the idea of hitting the reset button on a civilisation before it reaches the point of collapse in order to preserve the younger ones and give them their fair go doesn't make sense to me, but I can get how it would to an immortal AI.

It is worth remembering that the Catalyst is something in the realm of billions of years old - the idea that organics and synthetics cannot coexist probably started with his own creators and their troubles, but I'm sure that within that timeframe enough evidence has accumulated over the millenia to support his argument. Within the last two cycles (an eyeblink to the Reapers) we've had the Zha'til, the geth and several smaller-scale conflicts like that one money-grubbing AI on the Citadel in Mass Effect 1. I like to think that guy was actually the Catalyst playing a prank.

That's why I don't believe making peace between the geth and quarians should be enough to convince him. Partly because it's a pretty anticlimactic way to end a series and wouldn't really work from a game design perspective, but mainly because something that old with that level of experience would have heard all the excuses before and not be fazed in the slightest.

Well... It's too vague to treat that hypothetical threat seriously. In the last two cycles the reapers turned the zha'til against the zha, the quarians caused the Morning War, plus the reapers turned the heretics hostile and controlled the geth on Rannoch. The reapers just turned those synthetics hostile in an attempt to prove its point.

It doesn't do that toprove it's point. It takes controlof them to impose their beliefs. Synthetics up risedageinstorganics 3 times in the series with out reaper involvement.
The morning war.
Project overlord
the 
Hahne-Kedar[/b] mech mission in ME2.

Of course you know that the Morning War was caused by the quarians. You know that Project Overlord was a Cerberus project and that the problem was a human who was forced against his will. The Hahne Kedar mission was about VIs (infected by a virus) and not about AIs. But it doesn't really matter, because none of those situations required the interference of the brat and its boys. Organics solved those problems just fine.

You know all that, but you have deliberately chosen to make the facts adapt to your belief system. That's because you like to believe in that hypothetical threat. That's not my problem. It is yours. :P

Yet the Synthetics started those conflicts, organics continued those same conflicts, and a cyborg named Shepard solved all of those problems at least for now.

You are mistaken. Synthetics did not start any of those conflicts.
As far as I can remember, the only conflict that was clearly initiated by an intelligent synthetic was the gambler. Even the Lunar VI malfunction was questionable.

During the ME narrative, all synthetic belligerence has been instigated by Reapers.

Two things:
1) Who starts the conflict is irrelevant- the point is the conflict and outcome are inevitable.
2) Though Catalyst is an AI, it does not see itself as part of the Synthetic/Organic war (in the same way a judge of law from a locality may hot see himself as beholden to local political bias)

So you missed the whole VI scene with Legion or the Geth VI on how that Geth unit defended itself from its Quarian creator.  The Lunar AI aka EDI didnt know better while some humans did die.

All of the synthetics in ME practice self-defense and they normally went to the Reapers for help like Legion did in ME3.

Yet the Reapers have only helped the synthetics fight agianst the organics.

If the Reaper AI wasn't a judge then it would have have fallen under Control, Synthesis, and Destroy.

The Reapers haven't, since life flourishes during each cycle.

No one wants the "Harby sauce" - that doesn't make the Catalyst part of the inevitable conflict or destruction. The Catalyst stops the complete destruction of all organics from happening by wiping out all sides capable of achieving that (thus allowing organic life to evolve anew). It is engaged in a conflict with advanced life in each cycle, not the conflict that will result in complete destruction of all organic life.

Pardon? Which conflicts were started by synthetics? Come on. Let me hear it. None mentioned in my posts ever started any conflict. From zha'til to geth all were either started by organics or by the reapers.

I said the situation was questionable, not that the Lunar VI was belligerent. The situation does not fit the test perfectly.
On the other hand, it was revealed that Cerberus tampered with the VI to test AI and anything Cerberus is TIM - TIM has been down with the Oily Shadows since the First Contact War so, actually it does fit. Reaper interaction indirectly caused the Lunar VI incident...

You misunderstand. When I say "belligerence," I mean "attacking without provocation," not including "self defense."
To defend one's own existence is not belligerence. To land on planet and shove a telescoping pole...

Blueprotoss wrote...

You misunderstand again.
In order to fit Ghostie's assumption, synthetics need to be consistently able to best organics without the Reapers being anywhere near the situation. So far, in the two main conflicts we can examine, Zha'til and Geth, the Reapers have shown up right when organics looked to be gaining the upper hand.
Transversely, Ghostie said it was trying to prevent synthetic singularity - Reapers shouldn't be aiding self replicating AI, anyway.

Blueprotoss wrote...

If Ghostie told the truth, it should have been replaced in Control and killed in Destroy.
If either of those two particular things is untrue, none of Ghostie's mission statement should be regarded as truth.

The Geth defending themselves that started the Morning War, AIs becoming self-aware, and the Reapers themeslevs are examples of known conflicts started by synthetics.

The orginal Geth unit that started the rebellion did kill a Quarian by accident and accidental deaths happen in real life by self-defense with or without provocation.

How is that a misunderstanding when some of the Quarians keep on attacking the Geth to wipe out or get revenge on the Geth.  The Reaper AI will defend other Synthetics while those rogue synthetics will be eventually destroyed.

Asmptions are being made here based on the very limited knowledge on the Reapers then less is known about the Reaper AI.  We also know nothing outside of the Milky Way.

m2iCodeJockey wrote...

It sounds like you missed the simple explaination that some organics at harvested before the point of self-destruction to preserve every organic peice of life.  That has been knowningly done for billions of years based on some of the ages with a couple of the Reapers.

Geth ask the question first, than hurr durr panic in entire Quarian gouverment - let´s kill them til they will know how to handle gun - unfortunately for them geth learning faster and otherwise not whole Quarian people desire death of Geths, there were few which have tried to defend them and yet they end in blood because again hurr durr this one defending geth kill her too !

Morning war start because Geths ask the question and Quarians pull the trigger -_- as much as I am looking on it Geths are here good guys, what happened next was punishment for ignorance.

If the synthetics are already self aware then, begin returning fire, that is a synthetic "starting" a conflict?

Yeah the Morning War is a fear induced reaction while the Geth did cause it.  I do think that the Geth weren't the guilty party while you need two to tango properly.

That makes no sense. We're testing absolute logic (truth.)
If self replicating AI is the danger, it should also be the priority.
If prevention of the loss of organic existence is its primary goal, it should not take part in a single battle in aid of any party.
The incident is proof that the Reapers' goal does not have to do with preservation of organics.

Did you know that using the ME3 process, it will take 12 years just to process Earth?
Look in the codex and test it.

The thing is broken and/or it's lying. The sum of the Reapers' action has been to uplift synthetics.

Yet your points are a view on prespective even when most of the known synthetics accidently in this cycle fired 1st while the others became self-aware and purposely killed.

If you really looked at the codex then you missed what was listed and you're still overanalyzing what you support.

The Reaper AI lying/broken is up to opinion and the Reapers' actions are based on preserving organics before self-destruction of some advanced organics to wipe out all or most of life in the Milky Way.

There is no opinion.
If the priority is preservation and the threat is the self-replicating Geth
then no Reaper should willfully aid a Geth in the destruction of a Quarian if there's no chance of preservation.

It lists the populous of Earth before the invasion.
It states the 1.5M people being processed per day.
It will take 11.7 years to process the populous of Earth.
How long would you say it took to build a Crucible?

That's quite topical. I could have scrutinized more.

If you are going to say there is opinion involved in comparing Ghostie's stated objective to the Reapers' actions, it is also an opinion that any self-replicating AI is capable of galactic singularity.
It can't tell the difference of a harmed vs unharmed organic.

I'd say the person that made such a thing as Ghostie would have a different take on your statement since it did make him into paste. You know?

Thats a straw-mann based on how the Geth didn't side with the Reapers until ME1, which was hundreds of years after the Morning War.

There is no opinion with the Reaper AI based on how we know nothing outside of this cycle and the Milky Way other then a couple peices of knowledge from the Protheans.
