Speculation, Thoughts and Questions on the Traveler, AI's and Rampancy

For those of us who have hung around the Bungieland for awhile, we know they like to stick with certain symbols and themes, two of those being artifical intelligence and rampancy. I'm curious how these particular themes will play out in Destiny's universe or if it will be present at all. (I would be shocked if it wasn't.) Now, we do know there's this massive thing floating over our planet called the Traveler. And I'm thinking, AI construct? With the information we have, which is very little, I think you could certainly make a good, rational argument the Traveler is sentient in some way and thus perhaps an AI. Bungie also stated, and I'm paraphrasing here, It gave everything it had to protect us in the last major battle. However, it is evident that it is still operating in some capacity but it has been greatly diminished. Rampancy perhaps? (Not quite as sure about this. Just throwing it out there.) Anyways, here are my questions: do you think Bungie will carry on the themes of AI's and rampancy in Destiny? If so, in what way? Do you think the Traveler is an AI construct? Why or why not?

  • I know everyone sees this as magic. I see it as a form of advanced tech that saved us. Like is just a huge mass of technology that we are reverse engineering with a way to keep itsself afloat, be it an opposing magnetic foce or a generater system. That would explain that bottom pieces of the traveler seeming to be missing. We are digging into it.
