Legion specifically stated that it was an analog.

An analogy for what? What is like a Dyson Sphere but not?

I hadn't thought of the Matrioshka Brain at the time, though.

I wonder if there's room for a post-singularity concept in Mass Effect and if the Reapers are somehow supposed to be on that level.

I thought the same thing when Legion said the structure was an analouge so I'm guessing what the geth are building isn't powered built around a sun. Think about it at some point a sun is going to go nova and for a race of immortal computer programs that is a problem. I think that what makes the geth structure like a dyson's sphere but not a dyson's sphere is what it's built around.

This is a decent point - I suppose if you have the resources and drive to build a Dyson sphere it would make sense to power it with a more controlled and energy dense fusion source. One of the most interesting things about artificial fusion power is that we have to actually kick the crap out of the sun in terms of energy density vs volume. Plus, probably a lot easier to run a few million fusion plants then to replace a star when it runs out of fuel.

I'm slightly surprized someone hasn't compared this geth sphere to the borg cubes

Why? There are few parallels between the geth and the Borg.

I thought they were going to clean up the galaxy (like a vacuum cleaner)
