How else could the chief hear the Didact talk to him when Cortana couldn’t during Halo 4’s campaign?It is understood in Cryptum that the Ur-Didact and Bornstellars minds were connected once the Ur-Didact gave Bornstellar his gea.I also think the Librarian knew that the Didact would never relate to humans once he went hellbent on composing them, and so she took Bornstellars essence and saved it for the right moment.
If you watch the terminals, the Librarian wanted the Ur-Didact to help the humans learn from the forerunners’ mistakes at maintaining the Mantle. She knew that having a human as a future Bornstellar would pursuade the Didact to finally let the humans take over the responsibility of the Mantle.
343 Guilty Spark has also spoken to the chief throughout the first trilogy as if he is the Didact(who I believe to be Bornstellar). From asking the chief about past conversations during the activation of the Halo rings to flat out calling John a forerunner, there is too much information and evidence for me to think otherwise.

Only problem with that is Bornstellar Didact was the one that activated the Halo Array.
I wouldn’t doubt John has a genetic memory, could be Bornstellar, but I still think he may be kicking around somewhere but quite honestly there is too much up in the air to call that.
But I don’t see Bornstellar ever convincing the Didact to be nice to the humans, at all. The Ur-Didact seems to be able to retain more rage than any Sangheili or Jiralhanae ever could. And he would most likely view him as an enemy after he sided with the Librarian.
True. I was trying to say that the Librarian saved something that belonged to Bornstellar(his DNA,his Conscience through the Composer)so that she could replicate him when the time came. There is no coincidence that these events took place 100,000 years later when it was told that the flood would return.
Also I don’t know how much 343i decided to carry over from halo 1-3 to the new trilogy. In the old one, Bungie had a half direction but was more focused on blowing stuff up and killing each other in matchmaking, now we have cannon everywhere and everything needs purpose and explanation.
And to my knowledge I think humanity was originally supposed to have been Forerunners but now we have different origins.
Maybe the encounter with the chief in the end of Halo 4 convinced the Didact that he is more than just a human. The Didact’s intention for composing the humans was for destroying the flood more-so than for his hatred of them. With the Composer now destroyed and his realization that the Covenant are not a competent adversary for the humans or the flood,the Didact will eventually have to aid the humans in destroying the flood. Whatever happens afterward is completely unknown.

he cant be, the bornstellar didact is the one seen in halo 4, and he was shot and locked away in his cryptum at requiem by the librarian herself. watch the halo 4 terminals, the didact of the human-forerunner war is clearly different than the one seen in the later terminals and the main campaign.

No, the Didact in Halo 4 is the Ur-Didact. His change in appearance is due to a mutation he underwent to try and become immune to the Flood.
I simply thought he looked different because he got older, just like Lord of Admirals.

He says in one of the terminals that his “new form” prevents him from being composed. It’s pretty obvious he mutated again after the earlier terminals.

Not even close.Pick up a book and read… then look at Silentium. ALL that happens fits with the Ur-Didact being on Requiem and Bornstwllar Firing the Halo Array.
Think about this… the Ur Didact was ADAMANTLY opposed to the Halo array. All of the events from the Halo 4 terminals and Librarian story happen before the Array fired. The Ur Didact formed his promethan knights as a way to kill flood because they couldn’t be infected, then he composes the Humans. Because of this he is placed in the crypt um on Requiem… Then AFTER the Halo Array is fired by the Born stellar Didact. The DIDACT fires the array… how does he do that if he is in the cryptum? The time lines and actions fit the Ur -Didact being on Requiem and the Born stellar being the one that fires the Halos.
Wait till Silentium… it’ll be proven.
