All such units have an unchangeable seven-year life span that limits their development as an independent entity.<ref name="fs195">'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 195''</ref> The problem of [[rampancy]] is a universal one with Human AI development. As these thinking machines become increasingly powerful and knowledgeable, there remains less and less space within their memory to handle basic functions. In a simple analogy, a human AI could perhaps remember all of the knowledge of human history, science and beyond, and in the process ''forget'' how to "breathe".<ref>'''Dr. Halsey's personal journal''', ''December 25, 2534''</ref> In this fashion, AIs think themselves into intense states of jealousy, rage, despair, and ultimately death as their programming becomes unstable. As such, AIs are typically terminated before they can pose a danger to other humans or constructs.<ref name="cp86">'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 86''</ref> | ||
