In [[2507]], Carver met a fifteen-year-old doctoral candidate named [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Catherine Halsey]] while attending an academic social mixer. Carver was discussing "the matrix mechanics of the socio-and politico-economic vectors of human expansion" when Halsey, who saw his ideas as genius but his algorithm implementation as obsolete, attempted to correct him. He had used only [[seven]] dimensional parameters in his calculations; Halsey claimed he needed sixteen. Carver did not appreciate being challenged by a young upstart.

Three weeks later, the UNSC approved Halsey's grant proposal for [[artificial intelligence]] control for N-dimensional matrices, under the provision that she first successfully test a model of their choosing, which was Carver's. It was by testing this model, using both Carver's and her own dimensional parameters, that Halsey was convinced to join the UNSC and work to end the Insurrection.
