      I found one saying when he needed to be reset he would write down things and feelings he wanted to remember. This time he didn’t want to be reset because he didn’t want to forget what it felt like to hold his son, and it was too difficult to write in words.

      There's a theory that since Ada-1 never had to be reset and was made by the black amour who wouldn't have had access to clarity. That they used their own alkehest one forged using the light. Because while the darkness breaks things down to their most base form. The light want life to be complicated and flourish. Thus, if one used the light to make exo's there would be no bilboarding or ddr because the exo mind can grow and flourish like any humans would.

      The Vex time travel using an extreme amount of mathematical calculations to accurately relocate a vex body to the correct location (the minotaur teleports are them phasing in and out of time basically). They effectively use time travel as a means of finding idealistic futures based on these ridiculous maths and then manipulating the variables in the current timeline to veer it into the one they desire (basically, multiverse theory). They do not wish to manipulate the future they go to otherwise this will rip a hole in space-time, fucking up their ideas.

    There is a theory in science called Time Symmetry. A lot of Physics actions is time-reversible, which is to say that regardless of which direction Time is running along a series of interactions, the laws defining those interactions are constant and consistent.
    Clarity is not time reversible.
    Clarity appears to be, potentially, paracausal in nature.

    Point that was interesting to me when talking about DER don't know if it would be for anyone else, the brain will try to protect itself from perceived death through what is called a myoclonic jerk (this is what happens when you are kinda falling asleep and you start getting electric shock like twitches) as your heart rate and breathing slow down and your brain interprets this as the body dying and tries to shock itself to remain stable.
    I wonder if this manifested in the exo body during DER? it would be feasible to assume that the lack of stimulus would be interpreted the same way even in a simulated mechanical mind and you'd have exo's jerking and spasming uncontrollably as it's inefficacy generates a feedback loop.

      That is also the Deep Stone Crypt. The Deep Stone Crypt isn’t just a physical place, it’s also a state of being an Exo must get to when they die. When an Exo dies, the “dream” as you call it, has them in a field, wherein they fight everyone they’ve ever met, both in their present and past reboots/lives. When they have, they can get to the tower, which is the Deep Stone Crypt.

    Byf, you forgot a key part of the exo-mind connection with their resets! You brought jt up back during Warmind- that the mind connection is able to reset SAFELY about 12 times. More than that, and the mind starts to fragment and lose memories. Hence why Banshee-44 has such an awful memory. They can't be done constantly, because eventually it could actually destroy their mind, and kill them.
