As of the final years of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], no [[human]] was known to have accessed the Domain or left their impressions within. Because of this, the Didact considered the Domain incomplete, as it lacked the knowledge that could be used to predict the humans' reactions in battle.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 164''</ref> However, much like the Domain would show retrocausal effects of the Halo array's [[Great Purification|pulse]] prior to its firing, when Bornstellar was imprisoned by the [[Master Builder]] at [[Janjur Qom]], the Domain opened to him briefly and he heard a voice saying, "Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it". Bornstellar noted to himself that the voice may not have been Forerunner. The quote is attributed to 19th-20th century [[human]] philosopher [[Wikipedia:George Santayana|George Santayana]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Cry|Halo: Cryptum|25}}
