The ultimate goal of the Vex is to remake all of reality in their image. [[Praedyth]] described the Vex as being motivated by a "Pattern," which drives the Vex to either reshape or destroy everything in their path. [[Osiris]] referred to the Vex's objective as "Convergence," an outcome where all life in the universe has been converted to a simplified, digital form. As part of this ideal future, the Vex seek to bring about a state where neither the [[Light]] nor the [[Darkness]] exist any longer. | The ultimate goal of the Vex is to remake all of reality in their image.

The [[Vault of Glass]] on Venus serves as a testing ground to melding reality with the Vex through ontological means. | ||
The Vex have displayed an interest in studying the behavior and strategies of other species in order to further their own aims. At least [[Unidentified Vex collective|one known programming]] is known to study its enemies, taking prisoners for observation and conducting a variety of experiments; examples include the [[Ishtar Collective]] scientists, Failsafe's crew, and later [[The Guardian]]. | The Vex have displayed an interest in studying the behavior and strategies of other species in order to further their own aims.

The Vex are unable to simulate paracausal forces or beings such as the Light, Guardians or the Darkness, and consequently have a particular interest in understanding paracausality and co-opting paracausal forces for their own use where possible. When the Vex first encountered the [[Hive]] after [[Crota]] inadvertently released them into the [[Ascendant realm]] of [[Oryx, the Taken King]], the Vex manifested an [[Quria, Blade Transform|Axis Mind]] dedicated to understanding and utilizing the Sword-Logic. The [[Black Garden]] is another example of a Vex effort to harness paracausal forces, in this case by creating the [[Sol Divisive]] to worship what appeared to be a fragment of the [[Darkness]]. The pulse of Light emitted by the Traveler when it defeated Ghaul was apparently instrumental in allowing [[Panoptes, Infinite Mind]] to predict a future where Convergence was achieved, and to enact a plan to achieve that future. | The Vex are unable to simulate paracausal forces or beings such as the Light, Guardians or the Darkness, and consequently have a particular interest in understanding paracausality and co-opting paracausal forces for their own use where possible.

The [[Black Garden]] is another example of a Vex effort to harness paracausal forces for their own use, in this case by creating the [[Sol Divisive]] to worship what appeared to be a fragment of the [[Darkness]] and the [[Sol Progeny]] as its vessels for harnessing that power in co-opt with the ontological [[Vault of Glass]].
