-~it's all buisness!!!~~~~~

In the halo book, The cole protocol, Grey team states that the AI on the rubble was rampant but it also explains that a AI can go through rampancy and emerge completely sane but a tad bit "all knowing". I don't have my book anymore so don't ask for page numbers, but i believe it is right after grey team is captured and imprisoned after theyre ship got hacked by the AI

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Cortana would go Rampant around the year 2556, as she was created in 2549 by Halsey (and we know that smart AIs have an operational life-span of 7 years).

But if one thinks about the amount of information she's got and her time with the Gravemind, one might cut down the 7 to a lesser number.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Considering that she was in ship-shape when she was paired with John, I doubt that she'd burn through about four years of her life in less than half a year.

It's not far fetched to say she's getting stretched thin, but I don't think that rampancy is on her horizon just yet.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I'm pretty sure Halsey's theory in the journal of ending rampancy in AI altogether is either:
1) installed into Cortana as she was being created.
2) installed in Cortana but not unlocked yet.
3) going to save Cortana at the last minute with a huge explosion in the background.

Yes, I'm a furry. And yes, I like men. So what?

I thought Cortana had achieved the theoretical fourth stage, known as "metastability"

yes she did. I believe it says that in one of the books or in the halo anime.

If my memory serves me correctly, I believe there are only two possible AIs that have reached this state of "Metastability".

-Mendicant Bias
-Cortana
-Juliana

Edit:

For those who don't know the exact stages of Rampancy, they are:

1). Melancholy
2). Anger
3). Jealousy
4). Metastability (Theoretical fourth stage)

And also, I think it was noted above, but Juliana, the Rubble's AI, probably did reach Metastability. (Possibly)
