'''Rampancy''' is a terminal state of being for [[Artificial Intelligence]] constructs, in which the AI "developed delusions of godlike power, as well as utter contempt for its mentally inferior human makers<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], page 31</ref>. When rampancy occurs, there is no way to restore the AI to its previous state, and the only alternative is to destroy it before it | '''Rampancy''' is a terminal state of being for [[Artificial Intelligence]] constructs, in which the AI "developed delusions of godlike power, as well as utter contempt for its mentally inferior human makers<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], page 31</ref>.

For some of the [[UNSC]]'s more advanced, "Smart AI"s, rampancy is an unavoidable flaw inherent in their creation. "Smart" AIs are based on the neural patterns of a human being, and they have a limited lifespan - seven years after which their memory maps become too interconnected and develop fatal endless feedback loops.<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]] Pg 195</ref> Thus if an [[A.I.]] is kept active longer than seven years, the AI begins to use more and more of its computer power 'thinking' about things. An AI explains it as "thinking so hard about something you forget to breathe." Thus, it is only a matter of time before "smart" AIs become rampant. | For some of the [[UNSC]]'s more advanced, "Smart AI"s, rampancy is an unavoidable flaw inherent in their creation.
