Regarding final words of Marathon: Infinity (Destiny)

I remember reading a while back somewhere (can't remember the author, or find the page) the theory that the final screen in Infinity is Durandal breaking the fourth wall and recognizing you, the player at the keyboard, as the driving force of agency in Marathon's story. Interesting thought that these board posts remind me of a little.

There could be some double meanings in there, so who knows. The references to repeated death and reincarnation supposedly could refer to saving and reloading games at pattern buffers, but could also refer to the alternate realities in the story line. And of course, that particularly detail about dying many times resonates with the way that Destiny starts...
