Since there’s been a lot of Precursors forum post. It got me thinking about The Primordial’s death.
Spoilers That the Iso-Didact imprisoned the Primordial within a reverse-stasis chamber and turned it into dust.
My Question/Theory is it possible for the Primordial to regenerate from the dust, like what the other precursor tried to do, and come back? Also if a reverse-stasis chamber works like a time-lock, the Primordial’s remnants(dusts) should be safe from the Halo array.
P.S- I writes this late and it’s also my first post.
There wouldn’t be a point since its memories are shared with other Graveminds anyway.
The Primordial pretty much wanted the IsoDidact to kill it, so I don’t think that it had any desire to regenerate its past form, especially when there are far superior forms waiting for it. You know, Keyminds.
“It is your task to kill this servant. That another may be freed.”
I knew their were flaws in my theory.
Thanks for taking your time and responding

What the Precursors turned themselves into was not a simple powder or dust, but a short-chain organic molecule. Basically something like amino-acids. What happened to the Primordial is that it was turned to dust over time, not an active, organic molecule. The Primordial could not be reconstituted from its remains.
OP the reserve time lock that the Iso Didact did not turn the Primordial into the Precursor regeneration dust (which eventually turned into the flood). It turned him into something like ash most likely not the dormant Precorsor dust that orginated the Flood. To use analogy you can think of the Primordal remains as ash from a forest fire yes it probably contains the chemical components of life (organic) but it is entirely lifeless, while the ground up Precursor dust created after the Forerunner Precursor War as freezed dried seeds, once the dehydrated seeds are rehydrated they can sprout and grow new plants.
