Halo 5 Theory (Spoilers)

[quote]"Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed. There is no choice. We must activate the ring." "More or less. Technically, this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of twenty-five thousand light years. But, once the others follow suit, this galaxy will be quite devoid of life, or at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood. But you already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you?" "You are the child of my Makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner! But this ring... is mine!" - 343 Guilty Spark.[/quote]Why would 343 GS confuse John for a Forerunner so many times? Is he crazy? That's the popular opinion, but why point that out time and time again? Why reintroduce 343 GS in [i]Primordium[/i] after he was supposedly killed in Halo 3, and reveal that a Forerunner AI isn't always localized to one construct? It seems like a very significant plot point, yet it's never been fully addressed. What if 343 Guilty Spark wasn't as crazy as he seemed? I'm calling it: in Halo 5, the changes the Librarian made to Chief's physiology fully manifest and unlock his Geas: the Bornstellar Didact. If I recall correctly, even the humans in [i]Cryptum[/i] and [i]Primordium[/i] had to have their Geas unlocked in some way, why not Chief? What if the Librarian did more than grant the Chief an immunity to The Composer, and just didn't have time to fill Chief in about his Geas what with The Didact finding them?

    I always thought, since Cryptum at least, that Spark called him Forerunner in Halo 3 because that is the title given to those who have inherited the Mantle. Realized Reclaimers are Forerunners. But since Halo 4, those other quotes start to make more sense. Also to those saying 343i changed who humanity was, no they didn't. The Halo 3 terminals make it overwhelmingly obvious the Librarian, at the very least, discovered humanity on Earth and fell in love with them; even at the time, Spark's comment "you are Forerunner" can easily be explained with the preceeding lines "you are the child of my makers, inheritor of all they left behind" as if to say that we are "Forerunner" in the sense that we have taken their Mantle and become like them. Cryptum merely expounds upon that idea.
