However, normal Flood infection also contains an incorporeal aspect. When the Flood infects a biological being, the corruption of the host's pattern is so complete that it cannot be removed or repaired through [[mind transfer]] procedures and the destruction of the victim's physical body. When a Composed pattern is imprinted onto an uninfected body, it will begin to decay and die almost immediately, while suffering immensely. This was most tragically demonstrated with the [[Composer]] and its failure to reconstitute infected individuals' biological forms: the new bodies of Flood victims subjected to Composer processing would invariably degenerate and fall apart in a short period of time.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 320-323''</ref>

The Precursors were implied by the Gravemind to have constructed all life in the galaxy to be imprinted with their laws down to the 'very structure of their molecules'.
