don't know wether this idea has been posted already, but i give it a try, if it has been posted, please knock the stuffing out of me....
what if cortana is behind it all...she already existed(maybe in a different appearence) when the forerunners were still alive and already told them(like master chief) what to do...she forced/convinced them to activate/build the halos and is doing now the same, playing humantity off the covenant. maybe she and gravemind are good friends...lol...but seriously, what if she's like in systemshock a freaked out AI?
What do you say to that?

She was created by humanity, and not the Forerunners. If she was created by the Forerunners, she probobly would've let Halo activate in Combat Evolved.

She can also only live upto 7 years, I think.

I dont think she could have already existed unless she was at some point a human to.She could have been about to die so she made herself what she is now.

Cortana was an A.I. programmed off the brainwaves of Dr. Halsey and the best hacking software ONI could muster. And she was only created about 2 or 3 months before the first game. How would this have anything to do with the Forerunner?

I am...whimsical today.

I think its interesting, but not likely. Cortana is less than 7 years old I think. Even if she was far older it would be difficult for her to stay hidden for the thousands and thousands of years before Humans could have believed they had created her.

I do think she is something to do with it tho :)

Ok. Cortana was made by the UNSC by Dr. Halsey. She can only live for 7 years and her experience in Alpha Halo shorten her lifespan and also started the process of Rampancy which she was in the all three stages in Halo 2.

That would make sense if "Cortana" was replaced by "The Monitor".

She was created over 2 years before the first game.
