Living Time
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Living Time was a Forerunner philosophical concept relating to the flow of time and "the joy of life's interaction with the Cosmos."[1] It was the founding concept behind the Mantle, and seemingly drew heavily from the Precursor philosophy of neural physics which postulated that the entire universe was a living entity enriched by the collective experience of ever-changing life.[2]
The Forerunners considered themselves to be only a stage in the stewardship of Living Time, with only a temporary place in the Mantle before another civilization that would reclaim their place as stewards of the galaxy.[3] The Forerunners also believed that individual lives would be summed and judged at the end of Living Time.[4]
