Halo Ur- didact upgrade Proposals

That would just be Information Analysis in the form of Memory/Mind Manipulation. Psychometry is more of a soul related example rather than mind/memories.
i guess but remember when i asked about the didact battle mode or the immeasurable speed thing
it still mentions, how through the didacts battle mode it saw in excruciating slow motion to dodge swift attack vessels

Assuming we find the attack vessel speed could this feat be calculated as reaction speed

There is nothing to calculate reaction speed wise, the "Slow Motion" thing is out of context or trying to give the reader a cinematic feel having a few seconds to set coordinates isn't that impressive.

what ?
ok before i address this i want to address something, so in didacts profile you can see he has the abiility energy manipulation via creating shockwaves from his armour
So i feel he could also get Energy projection as he can fire beams and blasts from his armour, one of them here where he fires a beam of laser on a spartan, if this isnt enought then here he fires beams into the sky
The qoute : “There must be a reason my wife is not here to greet me,” the Didact said when he was fully clothed. He stretched his arms to the stars. Beams shot from his fingers, and he sketched out several constellations, as if commanding the stars to move. I felt strangely surprised when they did not. The beams dimmed and went out, and he curled his fingers into fists. “You know nothing."

and as for the speed thing, i have no idea how just because its says slow motion its out of context the thing clearly descirbes how
Bornstellar (non-Warrior youth) pilots Falco interceptor through Charum Hakkor apocalypse—Halo test-fires, vaporizing planet/system. Thousands of Forerunner vessels swarm, plasma barrages + fighters exploding mid-dive. Active evasion,"directed the Falco to avoid" real-time kills.
"Under the influence"—Didact broadcasts mode via Promethean links.

i dont get how slow motion being out of context, the thing clearly describe the didact battle mode plugged into the falco to help it dodge stuff, and make stuff faster, its just describing an ability of some being fast and some slow,

Energy Projection is fine
The stars thing is an obvious hyperbole, but as I said, energy projection is fine.

It's more like an aim dodging feat at best. The "Falco" managed to escape the Halo's firing range slightly before the Halo array activated. Now "Setting the coordinates in slow motion" is more of an illusive brain feature; it's actually a common RL experience where one feels the world in slow motion as they fear they might die any second. Those ships exploding were do to various ships firing projectiles at each other and destroying each other, and the Halo was still charging and not yet fired during all this, but the "Gathering energy" part was something that can be visibly noticed from a distance.

alr btw if u ever have the time could you check if this coudl work

and in cortana profile it says, much superior to didact, but according to this scan its mention the didact in his prime was equal to cortana with the domain, potentially giving him planet level ap
happy new year btw

and btw the lifting strength one is way higher forerunner weapons are built by smartmatter which is so exotic it cannot exist, hence superior to diamond and also said to be hyperdense, and built atom by atom means no defects
diamond max compressive strength is 450 gpa so if we multiply 71, 508.4 by that i get like 3 million metric tons of force
and im using method 1 only
you could consider this a outlier but even this feat could get similar LS values
I believe you're getting actual mass of an object mixed up with tensile strength (Which is roughly a subcategory of durability).

which one are you talking about, the compressive strength one yes i did use compessive stength which is a misstake instead of yeild strength as in the original calc, but you can still up the yeild strength by 2 or 3 times as grade 1 titanium alloy is not the highest yeild strength, if ur talking about this feat then yes it is tensile strength but compressive strenght is around 0.6 percent of that so if i multiply it i still get the same tier

also do u think that i can appoximate the tensile strength with the value of yeild strength by multiplying by 1.3 as yeild strength is usually 70 percent of tensile strength

Btw if you can could u check this feat and let me know ur thoughts, the cal blogger rejected it because he didnt know the method i got the strength of the metal, and i woudnt say he rejected it but rather ask someone else who can get the method and accept it as he wasnt sure, regardles all the math was accepted so yeah

That's not their physical strength, planet level comes from technology weapons that Cortana hacked. Just because RL politicians have nuclear buttons, it don't make them 7-B physically. The statement about "Being far superior to Didact" on profile is referring to Cortana receiving access to far superior weapons, nothing to do with physical strength.

Compressive strength, yield strength, and tensile strength are different statistics for measuring pressure resistance of various objects, but it has nothing to do with mass or lifting strength scaling. So I got no idea where you're assuming the whole "3 million metric tons of force" thing when it looks like a lifting strength topic. But I noticed just how off that calculation is. As for the durability of Smartmatter and Hardlight; that's just in general very hard to judge. We do know it is considerably more durable than Nanolaminate, which is in turn more durable than Titanium-A, which is more durable than regular Titanium. But we don't know how much more durable, and it's hard to judge without getting into Calc Stacking territory. But most importantly, they obviously can't be THAT durable because lots of objects made of that stuff are demonstratively damaged or even destroyed by explosives that are consistently Tier 9 to Tier 8 range. Wraiths literally slagging 7 copies of itself in 2 shots; implying that either one could slag 3, or reduce 7 to an "Almost mangled state." Not to mention, Promethean soldiers, lancer knights, and Onyx Sentinels have been killed or crushed even by literal falling rocks plenty of times throughout the series.

But I will comment on blog.

i commented back on the blog , and for the planet level thing i meant with all his tech he might be
and cant crushing be used to calculate LS, thats where compressive strength and others come in
and the 5 million tons of force thing comes from this blog made by some other guy, i later got 3 million tons by changing the material (but i admit that wasnt correct)

You mean 4303.6816854 and 66470.048386 Tons respectively? Also, iirc, there was a thread about using crushing feats to get LS that Bambu and Agnaa contested methods like that iirc.

yes that blog an actually the value is 8 thousnd tons it got ccepted by the calc member (drite77)

Replied to blog again and btw meant to say 3 million tons isnt tru but it can be alot higher because grade 1 titanium alloy <forerunner smart matter and metal
 
looking into the thread, people seem to be agreeing that curshing is still LS and someone concluding the thread states that aswell just that things like throwing someone to a building is not , seemed a little inconclusive overall tbh, i dont think this disqualifies curshing as ap the op himself states curshing rocks could be LS and the thread is concluded similarly

also one question, shoudnt constraint fields be gravity manipulation, even if not the didact suit somehow justs fits in him when he is released in halo 4

Lots of regular users maybe, but DontTalkDT seems to agree with Agnaa. Most people disagreeing seems to consist of regular users who don't really have any authority when it comes to calculation policies. And the thread wasn't concluded yet, but seems to be higher staff who agree they should be separated more.
also one question, shoudnt constraint fields be gravity manipulation, even if not the didact suit somehow justs fits in him when he is released in halo 4
Yeah, telekinesis feats are technically done via electromagnetic fields generated from the suits that manipulate gravity altering technologies and what not.

So i think he should get gravity manipulation and energy projection as new abilities thats fine right?
 
actually crushing is still valid check the thread again at the end dalesean said it can still be counted
Hasn't really been a conclusion, and I do not think Agnaa or DontTalkDT fully agreed. Especially if there was momentum used in a method; I don't think crushing a large gun like a soda can getting something all the way to Class M sounds reasonable.

agnaa agreed to the method the calc used he only disagreed by dividing the distance, as for the method, its the same one as used here, which is the one agnaa suggested
and also considering the fact the guns strength would have 1.145 gpa which is alot, it may be reasonable considering the guns size(and also the fact its the same method as used in the wikis measurments for these type of feats, infact there were 2 methods done, 8 thousand tons is low ball
Even agnaa in the thread mentioned that thats a seperate topic and the feat can be used for ls
so please specify all your arguments is it only that it uses weird assumptions in properties?

Btw can this be information analysis

Crushing skulls or skeletons via pressing on them he accepted, but he said something about fictional alloys running into similar problems as taking joules value and dividing it by distance to get force.

yes but the calc where didact crushes a scattershot it does not take the joules value and divide the distance to get force, infact it follows his
he said "If the force is directly found (such as in this common feat) I'm fine with it." and the scattershot calc is the same calculation method as the feat he linked, even if its not the same, the calc dosent take the joules value and divide the distance to get force so its fine

also, can he have the ability time manipulation, because
In order to execute the Primordial, Didact creates a containment field around him that accelerates the rate of entropy within the field itself, causing the Primordial to artificially decay while mere seconds elapsed in the external universe
Here are the scans for the thing above

Another reason is
The Forerunners can also remove the dimension of time entirely in a space enclosed by a stasis field, as stated by Halsey during her exchange with Kurt. Whether this removal of time allows for time-travel is debatable, though it likely does not since otherwise the Forerunners would have made better use of it. However, it does show that the Forerunners can both pause time indefinitely and also drastically increase the rate of entropy within stasis and containment fields.
And also is the telepathy in his profile, because he can control a million ships at once ?

There are a lot of dialogue related to Forerunners and Primordial that are really just flowery language the more people pay close attention to detail, the more likely the actual conclusion is something not as impressive as what most casual readers conclude.

For the first scan, if you're familiar with what a time capsule is, "Surviving in deep time" and "inverse of a stasis field, the perverse of a timelock" are mainly referring to Shield Worlds basically acting like giant time capsules that also close off slipstream space from entering. Cryogenics are used to slow down aging process thus preserving longevity, but you'll perceive that only a small amount of time has passed. That, and Forerunners did compose themselves turning themselves into robots so they can have immortality. So that's also arguably what the "Survive in deep time" could also be referring to. Though locking out slipspace travel would be some degree of spatial manipulation.

For the second scan, Halsey was mainly just talking about how Spartans were put in pods and sent through slipspace, but does not know where they are. "Excluded from time" is more a metaphor for no one knows and hypothesized that historians

alr, Also can forerunners individually controlling a million ships in battle be telepathy like this
also pls specify your take on this feat whenever you can, as said from my points earlier aagna has no issue with it

Now i will be adressing this again, so the thing is you keep talking about the halo firing range but the feat explicity states didact saw swift attack vessels and plasma fire in extruciatingly slow motion, and uses it to dodge it thats what im focusing on and to further enhance it
Its stated in halo encyclopedia that warrior servants have battle mode which sees several streams of time exactly as described, and can use them to operate at near prescient speeds, now we obviously cannot actually calc that statment but i just feel that supersonic is low and using that original feat we can get values

There is such a thing as aim dodging, and it suffers the same problems there. And just because people can see shooting stars from far away doesn't mean they scale. There are still not interpret feats from it.

how do you know its aim dodging?, the text literally states in slow motion to avoid plasma and attack vessels, even if it is aim dodging the fast he saw it in excruciating slow mo, means he can atleast dogde it, ( if someone fires a sniper at me and i move before he fires yet i still see the bullet traveliling in slow mo i could have easily reacted to the sniper, )

also are you mistaking them for reacting to the halos? im not talking about that im saying the fact he saw the attack vessels going at him at slow motion and reacted to it,

edit:Regardless even if to you assuming the feat worked, would u count dodging the disintegrating swift attack vessels, to their full speed?, idk because they were escaping meaning they should have gone at their full speed, but disintegrating could have implied they were shot down, im not very good with narrative language.

There was no proof of Halo Arrays being activated at that time, disintegrating attack vessels refers to ships destroying each other. Also, they have projections that analytically predict where certain technological weapons are going to fire before they fire; meaning they simply got prepared to escape firing range before the Halo Arrays fired the blasts of lights. There is no proof the ship outpaced the Halo array bursts nor is their proof that anyone can like move their hand at velocities faster than the ship. Moving my hand a couple of feet to dial in coordinates and command a ship to move an autopilot is not even close to.

That still doesn't really change my point, one doesn't need to be that fast to react to a projectile that was fired from hundreds to thousands of kilometers away when the total distance covered from my hand is like less than a meter.

But the text states he saw the attack vessels in slow motion and dodged them i dont know why you are assuming that the vessel is far away from the falco, I'm not talking about the halos and based on the encyclopedia scan I showed everything the falco does can scale to the forerunner individually, because it states forerunner battle mode allowed them to have near instantaneous or whatever speed in fights, and their perceptions is also link to their cr speed
 
"Seeing them in slow motion" is once again often used for flowery language to give the reader a cinematic feel. As for distances, that's just how space ship battles are, especially when large ships are involved, projectiles are generally used from relatively far distances. We also have had rules for years that advise against scaling the velocity of ships to the reaction speeds of pilots, but forgot what page or which thread discussed. But I do know DontTalkDT is the one who made the thread. I do not take the blatantly hyperbolic statements literally, or if anything, I'd use those as counter arguments to say ships have autopilots features and thus is all the more reason to not scale to anyone's reactions.

Also, I'm not "assuming" these things, I'm just pointing out that there are far too many unknown variables. It isn't my job to prove any negatives, I'm just pointing out that there is no proof anything faster than the current scaling was fired at distances closer than one meter or anything like that. Anything below a couple kilometers is like lip lock distance when it comes to space ship battles of said scale.

Ok, i will send a message sharing all of my agrs i wish to convey in one message whcih will be including this.
 
Lifting strength:
Didact's Lifting strength should be Upgraded to class M
Accepted results were (8,349.11 and 66470.048386 tons),Both methods were accepted

One thing to clarify is this dosent come under an issue of deriving LS from crushing, the method used wasn't deriving force from dividing the distance or something as that was one issue had in this thread, aagna, the creator of this thread himself stated this feat wasnt an issue.

Combat speed, reaction speed :
So in the novels its stated that didact controls a falco and uses his battle mode ability to split time into several streams seeing some things as fast and some slow(as shown below)
This feat explicity states didact saw plasma fire(via battle mode) in extruciatingly slow motion, and uses it to dodge it thats what I'm focusing on
Its stated in halo encyclopedia that warrior servants have battle mode, which sees several streams of time exactly as described, and can use them to operate at near prescient speeds, now we obviously cannot actually calc that statement but, one thing this does prove it the "battle mode" is not just perceiving but they can percieve it and move according to it because thats how they can achieve the "near prescient speeds", simply perceiving it would not let them have that speeds in a fight, so ive proved this is c/r speed feat.
I also dont think that the "slow motion" is not cinematic in any way, as the ability is clearly described in the halo encyclopedia and not a random one time thing, maybe "extruciatingly" is a exaggeration but it should still be slow motion at minimum as what was percieved. One major thing to know is i will be calculating it via seeing in slow motion and not dodging as this could very well be aimdodging, to proceed halo plasma is stated to be 126 m/s

so i will use this and this to calc the feat, Because "excruciatingly slow motion" and "near prescient speeds" are like synonyms to "similar to frozen"
  • Human Speed = 7.7 m/s
  • Snail Speed = 0.00275 m/s
  • Time Difference of 2800x
  • The speed of a halo plasma is 126 m/s, multiplying 2800 with that i get 352800 m/s
  • Perception Speed = 352800 m/s = 0.1177% SOL = Massively hypersonic+

    Alternatively if we arent happy with using snail speeds, we could use tortoise speeds as suggested, which is around 0.10 ms
    So if we divide 7.7 by 0.10 its 77 and multply that with 126 its 9702 m/s which is = High hypersonic
Travel speed:
So for this forerunners second skin had space flight capabilities, these second skins were also described as being worn by forerunners their entire life
The Utility skin were "sufficient enough" for interplanetry travel, and the utility skin was actually basic and just considered normal clothing for forerunners and inferior to other skins, and both combat skin and utility skin were considered second skins, this means the combat skin has the same/superior speed compared to utility skins
Anyway lets assume interplanetary travel as from earth to mercury which is the nearest planet to earth as venus and mars spend signficant time at the other end of the orbit, regardless the distance is 77.3 million km when earth and mercury are at their closest together, assuming it took 24 hours to do an interplanetary travel(from mercury to earth) (a fair assumption if it were much longer then they would have just used ships) for the wearer to reach his destination , this would honestly give us a figure of 3,220,833.33 km/h or 894.6 kilometers per second.
Thats about
Massively hypersonic + travel speed
Edit: If sticking a random timeframe to get to massively hypersonic is unreasonable, Bornstellar is stated to call a 100 million kilometer trip( via automated craft) from earth to mars in 48 hours, and described the trip as a Tedious long one. Hence, atleast a trip of 77.3 million kilometers should take about max 48 hours via utility skin, calculating that i get 1,610,416.67 Km/h or 447.34 km/s, that is Still Massively hypersonic + travel speed

Abilities adittions :

Gravity manipulation: Via constraint fields which manipulated energy like gravity to do telekenisis, we also see his suit auto locking on to him

Self-sustenance: Type 3 because forerunners didn't need to sleep in their armour, (we never see them getting tired) (im not sure if this gives infinite stamina so let me know on that)

Perception manipulation: Because of Battle mode allowing him to have multiple perceptions at once all at different ways of percepting something( seeing some things fast and some things slow as described here)

Mind manipulation: We see him turning these creatures into serving him

Non standard breathing : can survive underwater, and can travel in space.

True flight instead of restricted flight: Second skins had space travel, and interplanetary travel as discussed.

Hacking: Hacked Infinity's systems, downloading hundreds of thousands of years worth of information, The Didact manipulates the Infinity’s signal to trick Master Chief and Cortana into thinking they need to go to the core,

Pain tolerance: unnaffected by having a knife deep into his eye

Vehicular mastery: Could pilot millions of war sphinxes individually

Healing: Foreunner armour was able to protect and heal lots of radiation damage, (similar to mc profile healing via regenerator)

Dimensional travel : The Forerunners have accessed and visited multiple other dimensions/spaces, including but not limited to: slipspace, shunspace, trick geodetics, the photon-only realm known as the Glow etc.,... didact can travel through slipspace so that might count as this.

Longevity: We know the didact can survive hundreds of thousands of years ,so he should get longevity, but type 1 imortality should be removed, forerunners are stated to live long but that literally means its not forever.

Duplicate: It is now revealed that warden eternal base form is basically a base forerunner combat skin, this means that all wardens abilities should also belong to the didact, Including duplication, as proven in that scan.

Limited Black hole creation&manipulation: Warden eternal can make small black holes that lock on to enemies, and as the point above it applies to the didact.

Energy manipulation: warden eternal could create shockwaves, and the didact could to

Stealth mastery: Randomly pops up behind spartans with them not noticing in games and books ( you know what im talking about)

Electricity manipulation : Warden eternal could shoot energy projectiles from his visor that had an EMP effect that disabled a vehicle, also listed here, it could disrupt electronics, and deplete spartans shields. Didact also gets this then.

Matter manipulation: He ionized a metal barrier, this should be some part of matter manipulation.

Social influencing: Deception- tricked master chief and cortana to releasing him from his cryptum by pretending to be the unsc

Spatial manipulation: superior ot the warden eternal as shown above who can manipulate slipspace which is spatial manipulation, as Slipspace functions by ripping normal spacetime to another set of dimensions, it allows MFTL travel. Its stated to use micro black holes to tear a rigt in fabric of 3d space, manipulating and mastery of it is some degree of spatial manipulation

Pocket reality manipulation: Manipulate and travel through slipspace as shown above.

Limited dimensional manipulation: as described, " Characters that can just move or otherwise physically handle higher- or lower-dimensional objects can receive"Limited Dimensional Manipulation". Didact can survive and manipulate slipspace, which is 11-dimensionsal.

Dimensional BFR: Slipspace portals created by forerunners could be used to send objects far away into different locations, warden eternal can throw homing slipspace ruptures at targets.

Photographic memory: His memory is also incredibly accurate; while stranded on the Builder hulk in the Burn, he was capable of reciting a verbal control code comprising 400 random nonsense words and non-integral numbers after thousands of years and without the aid of an ancilla., qoute is here.

Genius intelligence

Resistance to deconstruction: He survived a pulse grenade point-blank, which can disintegrate anything caught in its ionization field

Resistance to radiation: Can survive slipspace which releases extremely hazardous radiation where unsc and covenant ships need radiation shielding for their ships to travel safely, As stated above, second skins can do interplanetary travel protecting him from space radiation, this applies to master chief aswell.

Resistance to sealing: Can survive the composer which can seal minds and trap them in a digital construct

Resistance to memory manipulation: Can survive the composer which can extract mental essence and turn it into data.

Resistance to Data manipulation : Can survive composer which can turn beings into data
