It refers to a potential end-state of the universe in which the Witness intends to carve and calcify the universe into a frozen state of eternal perfection. In this hypothetical state of reality, only items and entities with a purpose or structure that The Witness deems fit for existence will remain. If this state is achieved, The Witness will have accomplished its eons-long quest in bringing meaning to a meaningless and open ended reality. | ||

The idea of a "Final Shape" has been described by several different entities associated with the Darkness. According to the [[Worm Gods]], the Final Shape is what remains when everything that can possibly be destroyed has been obliterated, leaving only that which has proven its ability to defeat all obstacles to its continued existence. This conception is later echoed by [[Oryx, the Taken King]], who describes the Final Shape as "a fire without fuel, burning forever, killing death, asking a question that is its own answer, entirely itself".<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#xxiii:_fire_without_fuel|XXV: fire without fuel]]''</ref> At one point, Oryx communed with what appeared to be [ | The idea of a "Final Shape" has been described by several different entities associated with the Darkness.

As described by [[Ahsa]], the species that would eventually become the Witness also sought to bring about a "Final Shape", which they sought to achieve by uniting [[The Traveler|the Traveler]] and [[The Veil|the Veil]] and using their combined powers to reshape reality as they desired. The details of this goal are unknown, other than it involved converting the universe into a perfected, eternal state.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/6/20)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], Dialogue: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s Zavala and Drifter Radio Message]</ref> | As described by [[Ahsa]], the species that would eventually become the Witness also sought to bring about a "Final Shape", which they sought to achieve by uniting [[The Traveler|the Traveler]] and [[The Veil|the Veil]] and using their combined powers to reshape reality as they desired.
