Interestingly, according to records from the [[Ishtar Collective]], Vex are capable of generating simulations of real-world events with perfect fidelity and predictive ability—essentially running a parallel reality in their minds which is arguably indistinguishable from the "real" universe.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost_Fragment:_Vex|Ghost Fragment: Vex]]''</ref> This ability appears to be limited only to ordinary situations, as the Vex are apparently unable to simulate complex phenomena that is linked to a paracausal power. These include [[Guardian]]s,<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Osiris|Osiris]]''</ref> and [[Oryx]]; in the latter case they were only able to bootstrap a simulation of his original incarnation as Aurash. [[Warmind]]s, on the other hand, are a different case altogether.
