'''Probability mirrors''' were objects created for the purpose of large-scale [[Slipstream space#Reconciliation|causal reconciliation]] by prehistoric [[Forerunner]]s in their early ages of high technological achivement circa [[10,000,000 BCE]]. They were enormous spheres with perfectly reflective surfaces which reflected light along a short span of time as well as space. This would reconcile space-time in the vicinity of the structure, capturing and adjusting the immediate light of any nearby object and allowing the transit of large amounts of mass without producing major causal damage; a blunt but effective form of reconciliation ideal for use in conjunction with a large number of [[slipspace portal]]s. The reflections seen by observers aboard a ship near a time-phased mirror were vague and indefinite, often only appearing as small, green glints or outlines of what might have been a distorted version of their own reflection from moments later, or, conversely, another ship reflected eons earlier. They registered on sensors as colder than interstellar space,<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 69''</ref> and echoed back any attempt to analyze their internal composition or structure.<ref name="s110">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 110-112''</ref> | '''Probability mirrors''' were objects created for the purpose of large-scale [[Slipstream space#Reconciliation|causal reconciliation]] by prehistoric [[Forerunner]]s in their early ages of high technological achivement circa [[10,000,000 BCE]].
