| A '''timelock'''<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 271''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''pages 18, 191, 227''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 170''</ref> is a temporal stasis field in which the passage of time is brought to a standstill through sophisticated [[Slipstream space|higher-dimensional]] manipulation. Both the [[Forerunner]]s and prehistoric [[San 'Shyuum]] possessed timelocking technology. [[Prehistoric human civilization|Prehistoric humans]] placed a form of timelock—a piece of ancient San 'Shyuum technology also known as a '''time bolt'''—on the [[Primordial]]'s [[stasis capsule|prison]] beneath [[Charum Hakkor]]'s [[Charum Hakkor arena|arena]] to prevent it from escaping. According to the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], this measure was almost as effective as Forerunner technology.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 121''</ref>

| The Forerunners had an advanced grasp of [[slipspace bubble]]s and used variations of the timelock concept for a number of purposes. One of these was the [[slipspace field pod]], a stasis pod capable of suspending its occupants in time.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 335-337''</ref> Forerunner [[Durance]]s were traditionally timelocked after the last [[Mind transfer|impressions]] of a deceased Forerunner were enclosed within.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 47-48''</ref> The Forerunners were also capable of creating ''reverse'' timelock fields, in which time passed at a vastly more rapid pace than within normal space. The [[IsoDidact]] used a prison cage containing a reverse timelock to execute the [[Primordial]] on [[Installation 07]], forcing the being to disintegrate via the process of entropy through the artificially-induced passage of a billion years.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 366''</ref>
