Humanity had known about the Vex as early as the [[Golden Age]], when the [[Ishtar Collective]] discovered their ruins on [[Venus]], as well as captured a live specimen. Interestingly, according to Ishtar Collective records, 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.

Interestingly, according to Ishtar Collective records, 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. To Collective researchers, this ability raised profound philosophical quandaries about the nature of reality. Eventually the researchers were driven near to the point of madness when they discovered the Vex had simulations of themselves and perfectly predicted their every action, as they started to wonder if they themselves were just Vex simulations, so they decided to bring in a [[Warmind]] to intervene on their behalf.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:Vex|Ghost Fragment: Vex]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:Vex_2|Ghost Fragment: Vex 2]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:Vex_3|Ghost Fragment: Vex 3]]''</ref> | ||
