My theory on the Vex is that when you enter a Vex fortification such as the Pyramidion, Vault of Glass, or Infinite Forest, everything in there is a simulation save for a few "moderators," so to speak. Have you ever seen descendant or precursor Vex outside of these places? How are you able to "permanently" kill something like Atheon or Penoptes if the Vex are such great masters of time? Perhaps the answer is that the Vex don't have as much control as we think, and that they are currently devoting all their processing power trying to evaluate every tiny decision ever and will be made. As far as we can tell, this is proving impossible even with Mercury functioning as the strongest computer ever made. Getting lost in time could be explained as the Vex quarantining and deleting the Guardians like malware because that's what we are when we're in these areas. The Vex can't do that anywhere else or they'd win every fight by deleting us. Osiris, in the Infinite Forest, is basically a trojan horse letting more malware in. As for Praedyth? I'm not sure he's actually dead, just stuck in a Vex simulation. The skeleton we find in the Vault of Glass could just be a simulation of a future where Praedyth died in the Vault because if you actually run VoG and go to that location, there's no skeleton.

  • Never trust a skeleton. Unless it's the birthday skeleton. As far as being able to kill Atheon, there may be no true way to know unless it existed as one of the moderators in your theory. But even so, the lack of sequence needed to enter the Vault may suggest a convergence of simulated relativities within the vault: multiple parallel lines falling together and joining at one point after the fall of the moderator keeping them separated. It would still explain why we never see any of the Vex variants beyond their lines. Being immortal does not make one invincible. As far as we know, the Vex are ageless, but they have yet to be proven timeless.
