''' | '''Dr. Elias Carver''' was a doctorate graduate in political science, and sociology and was known for producing a set of theories called the "[[Carver Findings]]", first published in [[2491]]. | ||

In 2491, Dr. Carver presented the "Carver Findings" to the [[UNSC High Command|Admiralty]]. The findings included an algorithm which predicted a breakdown of social order in the [[Outer Colonies]].<ref name="Halsey"/> Carver recommended strict government control be established, reinforced by an immediate and permanent military presence.<ref name="enc"/><ref name="Halsey"/> Without major action it would result in a civil war.<ref name="enc">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''' ''page 44''</ref> After presenting his findings, he was scoffed by many who attempted to dismiss his findings. Carver's predictions however would prove shockingly accurate as the [[Insurrection]] broke out in June of [[2494]]<ref name="enc"/>. Carver's findings would go on to serve as an advisory guide to [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] Military Command as they attempted to deal with the Insurrection. After the conflict broke out, Carver became in high demand for lectures.<ref name="Halsey"/> | |||
In | |||
In [[2507]], Carver met a fifteen-year-old doctoral candidate named [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Catherine Halsey]] while attending an academic social mixer. Carver was discussing "the matrix mechanics of the socio-and politico-economic vectors of human expansion" when Halsey, who saw his ideas as genius but his algorithm implementation as obsolete, attempted to correct him. He had used only [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] dimensional parameters in his calculations; Halsey claimed he needed sixteen. Carver did not appreciate being challenged by a young upstart. | |||
Three weeks later, the UNSC approved Halsey's grant proposal for [[artificial intelligence]] control for N-dimensional matrices, under the provision that she first successfully test a model of their choosing, which was Carver's. It was by testing this model, using both Carver's and her own dimensional parameters, that Halsey was convinced to join the UNSC and work to end the Insurrection. | |||
Although respected | Although respected and in high demand for interviews and lectures, Carver struggled with personal issues, believing that by predicting the escalation and carnage of the Insurrection he had actually caused it. His guilt led him to commit suicide in [[2509]].<ref name="Halsey"/> | ||

File:Carver_by_Halsey.jpg|Halsey's subjective drawing of Carver.<ref group="note">Halsey's drawing of Carver is more of a subjective piece of art, than a portrait of the man; that could be interpreted in several different ways, her art could represent the public and private life Carver had to deal with in the light of his findings and its outcome of accurately predicting the conflict. It could also represent the two different personalities he had to struggle with as both a public figure and as a doctor, dealing with his own guilt while presenting himself as an intelligent speaker and specialist in his field of work.</ref> | |||
