Such plots involved the Vex attempting to salvage themselves from the loss of Panoptes. When Osiris foolishly created a simulation of [[Dendron, Root Mind]], in an attempt to control it, the Cyclops Axis Mind went rogue and made efforts to fill in the void left after the Infinite Mind's demise. However, the exiled warlock managed to contact the Guardians in time to prevent Dendron from taking any action. Traveling to the Simulated Past in the Infinite Forest, the Guardians were successful in eliminating the Root Mind once again.<ref name="AGW"/> | Such plots involved the Vex attempting to salvage themselves from the loss of Panoptes.

Further, the Guardians made constant travels into the Infinite Forest, preventing any Vex experiments from bearing anything significant that would work against the Last City. One experiment involved the simulated Cabal [[Valus Thuun]]. After the simulation failed to prevent the Guardians from finding the Infinite Mind's lair, Thuun was resurrected as part of a glitch and continuously attempts to destroy the map, only to fail. Osiris contacts the Guardians again and has them eliminate Valus Thuun for good.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - [[Tree of Probabilities]]''</ref> | Further, the Guardians made constant travels into the Infinite Forest, preventing any Vex experiments from bearing anything significant that would work against the Last City.

At some point, the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] consumed a chunk of Nessus that contained a powerful Vex Mind, [[Argos, Planetary Core]], which caused the world-eater to clog up and malfunction. [[Emperor Calus]] immediately invited the help of the [[Guardian]]s to destroy the Vex intrusion, where they succeeded and repaired the Leviathan. Calus saved the Guardians from being sucked into the Leviathan afterward, where he rewarded them for their efforts.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - [[Leviathan, Eater of Worlds]]''</ref> | At some point, the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] consumed a chunk of Nessus that contained a powerful Vex Mind, [[Argos, Planetary Core]], which caused the world-eater to clog up and malfunction.

As a result of having originated in the primordial reality predating the arrival of Light and Darkness, the Vex are unable to simulate paracausal forces or beings.

The Black Garden is another example of a Vex effort to harness paracausal forces for their own use, in this case with the rogue Vex faction known as the Sol Divisive that the rest of the Vex Collective either avoid or are opposed to.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | The Black Garden is another example of a Vex effort to harness paracausal forces for their own use, in this case with the rogue Vex faction known as the Sol Divisive that the rest of the Vex Collective either avoid or are opposed to.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Undying]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Aspect|Aspect]], [[Lore:Aspect#Epistemic|Epistemic]]''</ref> All Vex seek to survive and dominate the universe, but while the main Vex Collective seek to simulate a future where both Light and Darkness don't exist and only Vex remain,<ref name="BI"/> the Sol Divisive seek to become one with and be remade by the Darkness to achieve supremacy.

According to notes taken by Clovis Bray I, Vex gates appear to lack meaningful structure or instrumentality, instead being a seemingly arbitrary arrangement of elemental metallic components. He speculated that a gate's structure instead serves as a kind of "password" that is recognized by some technology far away in time and/or space, which will manifest a gate only when the component pieces of the gate have been assembled in the correct shape.<ref>'''[[Mysterious Logbook]]''', "ENTRY 6 AMENDMENT", ''[[Mysterious Logbook#-029-|29]]''</ref> An AI analysis included in his notes shows that transport through a gate appears to be facilitated by a non-gravitating, geometric [[wikipedia:Ellis wormhole|Ellis wormhole]] that can be traversed into another point in local spacetime, or a nearby parallel universe.<ref>'''[[Mysterious Logbook]]''', "ENTRY 7", ''[[Mysterious Logbook#-033-|33]]''</ref> | According to notes taken by Clovis Bray I, Vex gates appear to lack meaningful structure or instrumentality, instead being a seemingly arbitrary arrangement of elemental metallic components.

Overall, the Vex network is compartmentalized and operates in localized nodes called "subnets", which can each work independently from one another. If one suffers, it will not affect the rest of the network as a whole. They all function differently but work toward the same goal of Convergence. The Infinite Forest, and possibly the Vault of Glass, are their own subnets, where the former represents only a fraction of Vex's overall power.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - [[Kairos Function (Warlock)|Kairos Function Suit]]''</ref> | Overall, the Vex network is compartmentalized and operates in localized nodes called "subnets", which can each work independently from one another.
