Not necessarily, at the end of Cryptum the character Bornstellar seems to accept becomeing the Didact from the mutation and memories recieved by it. It also seems to me that the Libraian on page 339 talks to Bornstellar as if he is now the Didact. I think that while The Didact was killed by the Master Builder on the San'Shyuum quarantine planet his persona lives on to the end in Bornstellar and that he might be the one communicating in the Terminals not the actual Didact.[[User talk:Deep Reverence|Deep Reverence]] 00:18, 13 January 2011 (EST)

That's true, and with Bornstellar being the Didact, the Librarian-Didact dialogues in terminals one, two, four, six and seven make contextual sense, as they would have happened after Bornstellar became the Didact and was preparing to fire the Array.
It's terminal three that's the troublemaker:
 
- the Didact: "We have the answer. We've built
Mendicant Bias. It's a contender
class [AI], unlike anything we've
ever achieved.
And we've observed a pattern it
can exploit."
This implies that the Didact was awake when the Flood returned, and that Mendicant Bias was built sometime during the war. Cryptum would seem to indicate that the Didact was in hibernation during that timespan.
-Librarian: "Are you insane? Would you risk
every life in the galaxy for this
transparently futile plan? Have you
learned nothing in these last
[300 years[?]]?"
Again, suggesting he was awake for the 300 years preceding Cryptum. [[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 14:20, 14 January 2011 (EST)
