Your picture shows nothing but complete misunderstanding of Synthesis concept. Let me show correct images to fix your confusion.

I wonder if we will find out something about unknown Saren activities (during or pre ME1... or both) in the upcoming DLC. That would be very interesting. Something like recorded conversations between Saren and Liara's mother maybe.

No, Saren talked about being servants to the Reapers until he became 100% indoctrinated and started talking about Synthesis

TIM was also indoctrinated, but...

...the Illusive Man was right after all.

Being indoctrinated doesn't mean being wrong.

Q: But there is no Crucible. How could they implement the solution?
A: Nazara connected itself to the Citadel Tower plysically. Saren and the Geth were already inside, so Nazara's goal wasn't system hacking. Reaper dreadnoughts clearly have overpowered energy sources to generate such strong shields and mass effect fields. Nazara could be repurposed before to be used as a Crucible analogy.

 


I don't think so.

Reason 1 --

Shepard asks the catalyst "Why didn't you stop it?"  (in reference to the Crucible)
The Catalyst answers:  "We believed the concept had been eradicated"

The Catalyst also states that he is the embodiment of all reaper life.   If the reapers were under the impression that they had eradicated the concept of the Crucible, then it is unlikely that Sovereign's intention were to be repurposed into something that they had just previously eradicated.


Reason 2 --

The catalyst states that the "The Crucible has changed me, opened up new possibilities"   If these possibilities were previously unavailable, there is no reason to think that the Catalyst would work towards a goal that is not within his parameters.  

Reason 3 --  "The Crucible has changed me"    This imples that a change had to occur in order for these new possibilities to become available.   Before the change, his solution was the only way.  

Reason 4 -- If it was within the Catalyst's abilitiy to use a reaper as a Crucible, there would be no reason for the Catalyst to eradicate the plans for the Crucible in previous cycles.

In ME1 Saren believes exactly as you say and yet kills himself (if you have high enough paragon/renegade points) this is because he is indoctrinated into believing exactly as you have stated. Once he realizes he can't control himself he blows his own head off. The reapers enhanced his body but at a cost. Other similar examples are the keepers, collectors, husks etc.

About reason 1
The Catalyst learned about the Crucible and decided to keep the concept only to itself for more study. It didn't want to "leave explosives to monkeys". Nothing illogical here.

About reason 2
By new possibilities it could mean only Control and Destroy. It is possible that discovering the Crucible schematics in the past gave the Catalyst some clues about the inevitable solution - Synthesis. Plus, the Catalyst said that it tried to apply Synthesis in the past, but failed. It required some very specific component, which was finally found in current Cycle, but wasn't exist before.

About reason 3
See "About reason 2".

About reason 4
See "About reason 1".

I think that's a stretch.   If the Catalyst kept the knowledge for itself, it would not have stated "We believed the concept had been eradicated."

Those are strong words. The statement "We believe" implies factial knowledge.   Eradication, by definition, is

   " to do away with as completely as if by pulling up by the roots "

If the catalyst did away with the concept completely, as it states that it does, then it would not have kept the knowledge for itself.     If it did keep the knowledge for itself, then it basically lied to Shepard when it stated "We believed the concept had been eradicated"    Now I agree with the idea that the catalyst is capable of lying. (different topic).    However, I don't see a reason for the Catalyst to logically lie about this.

Eradicated among lesser races' development patterns - logical enough (just remove all clues about the schematics and the device itself, and lesser races will not be able to build it).

Destroy some unique device's schematics without studying them - not logical at all.

So it doesn't matter that the Reapers put the ideas of synthesis and control into Saren and TIM's minds? If TIM had tech that could control the Reapers, why did the Reapers want this?

Saren could have gotten to the decision chamber on the Citadel and ME1, chosen synthesis, and been the hero by your logic.

Every indoctrinated character has one thing in common, at least until they break hold of it: being convinced that destroying the Reapers is wrong.

That's more of stretching the Catalysts words into something that they are not.     What do we know?   We know what the Catalyst tells us.     The catalyst doesn't say that he was discriminant in his eradication.   He only states "We believed the concept had been eradicated."     The word eradication implies -complete- destruction.   Discrimination (among the lesser races) is not stated or implied.    He is also a machine.  There is no such thing as "logical enough." Logic would not be logic if it involved partial truths.  

If the catalyst disciminated the knowledge of the Crucible for only himself, there is no reason for him to make a statement that is partially a truth and partially a lie. 

Unless

He is lying for a logical reason or outcome.

But there really isn't a logical reason or outcome.

I thought it was inevitable that synthetics would wipe out organics if the reapers didnt intervine?

But synthesis is also inevitable? wat

Listen, Look up the definiton of symbiosis.  Once you know what that is, you'll know why it inevitable.
In fact, it's already happening in the MEU and our world.

"Symbiosis (from Ancient Greek σύν "together" and βίωσις "living") is close and often long-term interaction between two or more different biological species."

Machines like Geth aren't a biological species. And machines and organics can have a symbiotic relationship without any kind of synthesis.

I don't see computers becoming organic with souls and humans becoming computers in our world. In the MEU, half machines/half organics are called Reapers.

Naturally occuring merging of organics and machines is neither inevitable nor possible.

I'm starting to think the Reapers really exist and you're their first victim.

Symbiosis and Synthesis are two different things. The middle choice(synthesis) is not symbiosis.

If it because oneif force, then you missed the point. Only the catalyst verison is force. It will happen even with out doing it his way.

The theory can workwith oraganics and machines  as well.  It's called cybernetic implantation. This is well in the meu.
You're missing the fact here that even Shepard is part organic and part machine.

Yeah, of course. But cybernetic implantation isn't natural, so it's not inevitable.

And there is no way to make a computer "alive".

As a sidenote, if everything synthetic is truly destroyed in "Destroy" it doesn't make sense that Shepard can live.

Nartural. It has nothing to do with natural. This development is an evolution of the concept of tools. Ofcousre weare the one that aregoing to allyit to ourselves, that's is how tools are made and developed.
It an extetion of our natural ability to make tools. It a simple extention of that. It matters not if our bodys don't do it on their own. It a case our mental capacity and our tool making skill that evolve. AKA make out bodieswhatever wewant.

That still is a form of evolution.

I'm not saying it's not a form of evolution,but how is it inevitable? And what exactly is inevitable? If you're not saying that everything will inevitably be synthesized, what's your point?

How is it not? It inevitable out of covienance and need. Think of it like the sperad the the celuler phone. The benifits of cybernetic agmenttions are extremely attractive. It's not just getting a new eye, arm of leg. The meu has gray box that computers stored in the body that interact with the  mind. In combat, the implants give soldiers an edge as seen with Shepard and biotics.
