The Infinite Forest within Mercury is perhaps the most impressive example of Vex simulation technology, being a massive "reality engine" capable of simulating countless variants of past, present, and future realities. These simulations can be entered by non-Vex through a gateway on the surface of Mercury, and are "real" enough such that intruders can be damaged by attacks from simulated Vex or other entities within the Forest. Simulations can somehow leave the confines of the Infinite Forest if left unchecked, and can achieve sentience to operate independently.<ref name="GFV2"/> | The Infinite Forest within Mercury is perhaps the most impressive example of Vex simulation technology, being a massive "reality engine" capable of simulating countless variants of past, present, and future realities.

As a collective intelligence spanning across alternate realities, the Vex are intrinsically tied to the [[Corridors of Time]] that they can traverse through it in a manner similar to time travel; the Precursors and Descendants subtypes having originated from the past and future respectively, and numerous Vex units have titles or functions that allude to an ability to manipulate time. [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]] attempted to leverage Vex time-travel technology to pull the entire [[House of Wolves]] through time from the past to the present.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/queens-ransom#variks]</ref> However, according to Sister [[Faora]] of the [[Cult of Osiris]], the Vex may not be capable of "time travel" as is commonly understood; if they were, she claims, neither the Guardians nor any other obstacles to the Vex would still exist.<ref>http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/kairos-function-boots?highlight=Kairos</ref> | As a collective intelligence spanning across alternate realities, the Vex are intrinsically tied to the [[Corridors of Time]] that they can traverse through it in a manner similar to time travel; the Precursors and Descendants subtypes having originated from the past and future respectively, and numerous Vex units have titles or functions that allude to an ability to manipulate time.
