Phased pulse generators. Im sure i read something about harmonic frequencies in the encyclopaedia too.
My pet theory is that the index contains the 'resonant frequency' of every sentient beings nervous system/neural physics signature in the galaxy, data which was collected during the great indexing and put into the physical index. Thats why the array cannot be fired without the index being manually brought to the control room, as a safety measure. It is not just a token. Before the conservation measure was settled upon by the forerunners, Halo was a dumb area of effect weapon that messed things up on a huge scale, not just biomatter, like rending that entire planet where faber test fired it (cant remember the name)
So in this way, the pulse is targeted only to the species capable of hosting the flood, whilst leaving everything else intact and not irradiated.
Of course this raises interesting questions seeing as were talking about frequencies and neutron particle bursts in the same sentence, but perhaps the forerunners knew something about wave-particle duality we dont. Infact its almost certain, i mean cmon they were nearly gods.
^^^^THIS! Well done, I agree!! I also agree that super massive neutrinos and slip space reasoning we can not possibly fathom as with anything the forerunners have done or will do.
