In [[2507]] Carver met a 15-year-old doctoral candidate named [[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 dimensional parameters in his calculations; Halsey claimed he needed 16. Carver did not appreciate being challenged by a young upstart. | In [[2507]] Carver met a 15-year-old doctoral candidate named [[Catherine Halsey]] while attending an academic social mixer.

Three weeks later the UNSC approved Halsey's grant proposal for [[Artificial Intelligence]] control for N-dimensional matrices, under the provision that she firs 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 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"/> | |||
