Cortana and the Index

A mistake by Bungie i belive...

But think about it, its the year of 2525

I think she just has all of the data off of the index, not the T-stick thing itself.

Spark did it. Maybe she just used the same trick. But also she never actually used a physical object. She just jacked into the Halo and and activated it.

the index just wasnt a solid object. it was a key made up of millions of lines of code and cortona probly copyed and saved the codeing to study and learn more about the forunners

Keep in mind that Spark is Foreruuner, and so is more familiar with their sytems than Cortana is. What he can do Cortana may not nessecarily be able to. Besides he may carry a facsimile of most of the important technology on his Halo i.e. an Index on his person (if you can call it that).

You all should remember this...

In the beginning of the Two Betrayals(Level), the Index was a solid object no doubt about it. When it was inserted into Halo's Control Panel, the data was transmitted into the panel. Because of this, Cortana manage to "Cut & Paste" the entire data and preserve it within her memory banks for future use.

In Halo 2, it is similar but there wasn't any AI in the Control Panel in Delta Halo. So, the data was only transmitted in the panel but is still capable of returning to its frame whenever a person pulls it out...

The Index is, I would assume, a holographic representation of data. A person, such as the Master Chief, can physically manipulate it but ultimately its merely a symbol of the data contained within it, explaining how 343 Guilty Spark and Cortana can carry it.

no it was supposed to look like the index, damn

llllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggg

idk.

tis in da future. and come on realllly now. by da time the covenent comes.... we could do stuff like dat tooo.

yea real original

Read the article here. It says that the Index is made of an advanced material that can be converted to information. At least it said that last i checked.

FightWithHonor light can become solid, look at the lightbridges in halo1

Drawing acomparison between creating a bridge of light and an index is a bit inapt. One is very obviously light, it is glowing etc., while the other appears to be a very realistic solid object.Yes making an object made out of light could possibly be done, but it seems very unlikely, even if the Forerunner have successful.

If your theory is correct than...

Lightbridge=obvious light, does not imitate a real/nonlight object Index=?, imitates a nonlight object

usramm is right she probably just had all the data and stuff from it and to show stupid ppl what she had she had to show a picture of the idex

the index contains codes which activate halo. when Cortana "stole" it, she absorbed the codes

the Index contains codes that activate halo... when Cortana "stole" it, she absorbed the code inside.

she has the codes which are inside the index.

Think of the Index as a USB Jump Drive. It is essentially a physical representation of virtual data. When placed into the Core, Cortana simply went into the Index and took all the data, and showed 343 Guilty Spark a holographic representation to show him what exactly she was doing. The physical representation of the Index is basically an empty drive.

Magic, obviously.

In all seriousness she probably just copied the code, and created a hologram...
