Subject: Will Cortana die in seven years?

I know that Cortana is supposed to die in seven years because in that time she is supposed to learn so much that she "thinks" herself to death. But then I started to think, How much can Cortana learn if she is just floating around in outerspace, in a broken ship, for many years (maybe)? So with that in mind, isn't it possible that Cortana could live longer than her original life expectancy?

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

7 is the average it could be more it could be less who knows.

It's already been seven years. Floating around in space would actually cut her time down, seeing as she has nothing to do but think.

If you have seen Halo Legends, she may have already become Rampant, and even Metastable. But then again, we don't know what happened to her, and most people don't usually hold Halo Legends as canon.

I'm a little confused on rampancy and metastability. Is rampancy and metastability the same thing? Is the metastability stage a "safe and logical" self aware AI?

At the end of Halo 3 she became meta-stable and surpassed rampancy.
But in Halo Origins she begins to show signs of Rampancy. That's after Halo 3 I think.

It is not confirmed that she is metastable. It's only speculation.

Deadeye, Rampancy comes before metastability. Metastability is when an AI recovers from rampancy, but rather than going back to be a normal AI, surpasses that and some would then consider an AI to be a true person. There are no AIs confirmed to be metastable.

With no one to change AA batteries I'm sure she would die a lot faster...

Yeah, not confirmed but I think a lot of people believe it to be very likely. Even amongst "intelligent AI," she's... special.

She will go rampent. Maby in the next Halo game we have to fight Cortana and the computers and robots she is hacking into.

The only reason I refute this is because no one has established how long after Halo 3 Origins takes place.
Oh, ok.
