At the end of Silentium, the Pimordial sends a Human with the essence of Forthencho to speak with the Librarian. He tells her that the Precursors have been around since even before the stars, and that the Domain contains 100 billion years of knowledge. So, from what is said, it seems to indicate that the Precursors are older than the Universe itself. By 2016, we believe the Universe to be 14 billion years old. What I’m wonder is, are the Precursors from a different universe/dimension, then came into ours after the Big Bang? And before coming to our Universe, they created the Domain and already had large amounts of knowledge stored in it? They are the most powerful beings in the Halo Universe, and possibly inter-dimensional. My mindset was after reading was that they came into our Universe and began seeding it with life. They aren’t responsible for all life in the Universe, but the areas they visited, they left their mark.
Just like how Satan twists the truth to confuse and manipulate others, or if you aren’t Christian, is represented as an individual within Christianity who does such an act, The Primordial most likely was telling a partial truth or blatantly lying to the Librarian. The Precursors may have been around before the Milky Way’s stars. And that the Domain has the potential to contain 100 billion years of knowledge or more.
These are several ways in which one can interpret its words of “truth.”
Don’t trust an enemy bent on manipulation and psychological torture just to fulfill its goals…such is the nature of the Flood and the Precursor’s vengeance.
But of course we won’t know until the truth is revealed. And if it isn’t, well, then we empathize with the characters within the story and share their confusion and curiosity and yearn for the answer that will never come. Hence immersion and relatibility with all characters big and small.
Sincerely,

Good Satan analogy. The Primordial is the master manipulator. I’m curious if he and his species originated from our Universe or another one.
Considering that the prospect of multiverse hasn’t been explored in Halo, it would be awkward to introduce it at this point. Granted, slipspace is considered a separate dimension, but only in the capacity that normal laws of physics don’t apply in slipspace; I highly doubt that there are lifeforms that could have come from it.
The Precursors occupy an area of mystery that the Forerunners previously held in Bungie-era Halos; we don’t know much about their origins, and instead just know about their effects on the known Halo universe. I think 343i will need to further explain the Domain for the sake of future games, but perhaps they’ll leave the Precursors purposefully shrouded in mystery the way Bungie did the Forerunners. Good stories always have some unexplained mysteries.

However, in Last Light, Fred looks into Covert Support Base 4276’s vacuum energy extractor, he experiences the lives of entire universes. So it seems that there’re other universes or universes prior to our own.

Those universes do not necessarily predate our own. They simply existed at some point in time, and their energy was sucked out to transform it into vacuum energy for the Forerunner installation. Halopedia’s article on vacuum energy does a good job of summarizing what little we know about this technology (the only thing in Halo that is related to parallel universes as far as we know).
As for the Precursors, my belief is that they are, collectively, God. Meaning their origins is none but themselves, and they created everything. Whether they originated from our galaxy or our universe is thus un-answerable, in the same way we can’t explain where the very first deities or entities of our current or past systems of beliefs (be it God in Christianity, Allah in Islam, or Chaos in the Greek mythology) come from, because they’re already the point of origin themselves.
Another possibility in my view is that they became God. They started out like us, a random species born in an already existing universe, and thanks to a lack of competition and continued wisdom, reached transcendance.
Anyway, I am firmly convinced that the Gravemind told at least part of the truth when he spoke to the Librarian. Not necessarily that the Domain is precisely 100 billion years old; rather it was meant to say that the Precursors predated the universe, and thus were the only ones to know the full extent of the truth, the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything, if you will.
Forthencho declares that “The Gravemind no more understands the whole truth than we do”. This is followed by “[…] when the Halos are fired, not only will sentient life across the galaxy vanish, but all that knowledge will vanish as well. The greatest treasure of all will be destroyed”. To me, this foreshadows not only the destruction of the Domain, but also announces that the truth is now buried. Only the Precursors knew, and now they’re all gone, the Primordial having become a ‘degenerate’ Gravemind. The Domain only remains as the container of the truth, and will now be destroyed. To me this tends to show that the Gravemind was telling the truth when he spoke of how old the Domain was; it makes this one final act of revenge even sweeter. The truth was under the Forerunner’s noses all this time, and now that the Gravemind exposes it as such, it’s already too late.

Possible, I’m not too familiar with it. However Chaos also exists in Greek mythology. According to some sources, Chaos came first. From it emereged the Primordial deities, and from them the Titans. But since the mythology evolved a lot over time, there’s no one single true version; some accounts tell completely different stories.

I’ve seen this get brought up before…
People seem to keep getting all wrapped up in that our existing universe is roughly 13-14 billion years old and that the domain contains 100 billion years of knowledge.
Think of it like this…
At my work I was in a meeting with 3 other coworkers, all 3 coworkers have been working there for 30plus years. They all had a combined knowledge of over 100 years at that company. That doesn’t mean any of them have worked there for 100 years… that would be before the company even existed.
That same example can be translated to the domains 100 billion years of knowledge and the 13-14 billion year of age the universe is… It doesn’t necessarily mean that the domain is older than the universe… it just means that the combined knowledge is 100 billion years.
Now… that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the case. It could very well be that the domain and/or the Precursors are older than the universe itself and have existed in another older parallel universe or even another realm/dimension.
We may never know the real answer to that so I do understand the confusion. The 100 billion years can be meant in so many different ways depending on how one looks at it. My best guess is that it is some form of combination of knowledge that accumulates to 100 billion years.
The Precursors are very mysterious and I’m hopeful that it stays that way to some extent. What’s known about the Precursors is so far beyond what we know is even possible that too much ‘explanation’ of them could spoil what they are now to the Halo universe. Expand more of the Forerunners if 343i wants to but the Precursors would be better if left somewhat (expanding certain things wouldn’t hurt) a mystery since it would help keep some ‘beyond comprehension’ aspects that we have in our current lives today.
The precursors had mastered the science of Neural Physics. Their computers are living beings. We are just computers, we just don’t know it yet

There was a deity representing chaos in both mythologies.

Fractures spoiler ahead:
A valid interpretation. Yet Abaddon is clearly recognized by the IsoDidact as a form of evolved A.I. (or ancilla, to use the proper term). That’s interesting. What would transcendant beings who create living beings for a hobby need something as ‘basic’ as a computer for? (Not saying it’s stupid, just genuinely curious about this and thus asking rhetorical questions). What makes Abaddon different that it should be an A.I., when the rest of the Precursors’ creations are all living (as in organic) things?
Here’s how I understand it…
The Precursors exist outside of space-time as constants. The organic "Precursors the Forerunners interacted with and eventually slaughtered were a puppet race used by the Precursors to interact with the sentient species within space-time. The Flood’s mutations were actually deliberate, and the Flood is the Precursors’ metaphorical stick, which they use when the carrot has failed. I believe the Flood is playing the villain to manipulate events to bring about the Precursors’ desired outcome.
When Bornstellar first mutates, he sees a vision of a timeless, unfathomable mind, which is specifically not himself or the Didact. I think this was a Precursor’s mind, and that it entered Bornstellar’s subconscience along with the Ur-Didact’s imprint. I think it implanted on the Ur-Didact when he interrogated the Primordial (which is still a puppet of the Precursors). I believe the Logic Plague is the means the Precursors manipulate minds, regardless of if they are mechanical or organic.
We also learn of the Precursors taking many forms, including both organic and incorporeal forms. I believe the simplest explanation is that the Precursors are incorporeal in the manner I described, and that all of the races they use over time are puppet/avatars.
After the Forerunners devolve humanity, humanity rapidly resurges, evolving to their former states, and the masters-of-genetics (Forerunners) have no explanation of how this could have happened. I believe this was the result of the Precursors undoing one of the Forerunners crimes, without utilizing one of their puppet races (being as their most recent one is part of their plan to punish the Forerunners and elevate humanity to take the Mantle.
As for the Flood, I would argue that everything they do is to make sure humanity ends up wielding the Mantle of Responsibility (the Precursor directive that the most worthy race ensures that all of the other races have the chance to achieve their highest potential).
The Flood first tests humanity, emerging on their worlds knowing that they’d accidentally release it, making its actions partially their fault. Humanity passes their test with self-sacrifice. The Flood willfully stops attacking them to create the illusion that humanity’s cure worked, thus prompting the Forerunners at the end of that war to preserve humanity because they believed that humanity had a cure, and they couldn’t allow it to disappear. The Flood also deliberately gave the Forerunners enough time to design and build the Halo Array, when the Flood could have consumed the whole galaxy a full thousand years prior to the completion of the Halos. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Forerunners were fed the disigns for the Halos through the Logic Plague, and that this was the only reason they were able to build something able to destroy Neural Physics. The Flood allowed all of the other races to be moved off of the Greater Ark to the Lesser Ark, and then destroyed the Greater Ark, wiping out the hope for a future for the Forerunner species. The Flood then remained just agressive enough to force the Halos to be fired, allowing the Flood an easy out, without having to obviously willfully retreat, thus allowing the Flood to allow the galaxy to recover.
When the Flood re-emerges, its every appearance either denies access to technology the other race isn’t supposed to have yet, teaches humanity a valuable lesson in humility/leadership, or even giving humanity a fighting chance at survival, such as when the Flood emerged on the Halos to see that the Covenant fractured.
I believe the Halo universe is the full 100,000,000,000 years old, and that the reason it looks so much younger is because of the Star Roads cancelling out stellar drift, The Precursors being older than the universe is just a reference to their eternal natures.
I could go on, but I’ll wait to see if anyone has input/corrections first.

I love the idea that their bodies are just avatars for them to inhabit. What I’m wondering is, they would still be fine after their body is destroyed right? The Gravemind is actually the Primordial, as he took over the hivemind after his body was destroyed by the IsoDidact. So the Forerunners killed their bodies, but they are still around, behind the scenes, while some survived in physical and creation continued. Would show why they would let the Forerunners ‘kill’ them, they can never really die. They truly are transcendent.
I’m wondering though, if this is the case, why would the Primordial think he’s the last of his people? If their physical forms are just avatars, why would the Primordial be so bent on vengeance?

He said he was the last of “this kind”. Presumably he was referring to a specific form of Precursor-the form he was perhaps or maybe he doesn’t fully remember due to being mutated and degenerated over time. Or he was straight up lying. However he did say that others survived. Those others are presumably still out there.

I agree with the theory about the Precursors using avatars for interaction within the cosmos like the deities and spirits of mythology. I also agree with the Precursors being involved in humanity’s devolution being reversed within 1000 years after the war( I actually brought up that question in an earlier thread.) I think the Forerunners got the idea for the Halo weapon from human records during their war with the Flood. Halo Mythos mentions the Forerunners founding records stating that humans/San’Shyuum discovered ways to harm and repel the Flood with “Neural Physical attacks” and I think this played into Faber’s inspiration for the Halo’s ability to destroy Precursor architecture/tech.
As for the Precursors age, I like to believe that they are timeless and eternal. That they’ve been around since before time/the universe itself and created it or that they entered our universe from a previous one, a parallel one or another dimension/realm. The last option was actually the case for one of the inspirations for Greg Bear when he was writing the Precursors, (the Eddorions from the Lensman series). He also used Lovecraft (naturally) and the creature from the book “The Atlantic Abomination” for inspiration.

Would love to see others come back and put a stop to the Primordial and his parasite.
well, the precursors are still largely a mystery but if they have lived (or still live) in other galaxies then perhaps they think that this galaxy doesnt deserve their knowledge after the betrayal they experienced which could explain the lack of precursor tech even though they once were a dominant species of the galaxy (other thing could be that forerunners destroyed it all but that hardly makes sense for the precursor tech could have provided most useful). But its all just theories, and i believe there might not even yet be one and only truth about them.

The Array wiped out the structures and such due to them based on neural physics. The Precursors are interuniversal, makes most sense for them to be spread throughout the entire cosmos. Maybe they feel the Milky Way isn’t worth their time anymore, with the exception being the Primordial bent on having their creation pay.
