this is interesting. I came to some of these conclusions myself, and others completely not- I'm a strong believer in the player is an ai theory, what with how the music affects you and so on- anyway, I always assumed that the ai aren't hostile to humanity at all- for a number of reasons, hell, I actually kinda think that the dominion was partially omega level driven. do you really think that humans built the gates? or the hypershunts? or any of the other insane domain tech? we know that the domain heavily used AI behind closed doors. I don't think the entire domain going crunch suddenly ala crying suns makes sense to me either- I think they're still out there, and the war concept actually lines up with that quite well- I did definitely think that phase/hyperspace stuff was something being weird, although I think it's something to do with phase space more than the gates and hyperspace.
additionally, I'm pretty sure ludd was an ai, and slash or even is the player-
either way, it all lines up pretty well.
and yeah. if there's a galactic war going on out there, and the local omega as a whole want to keep the sector out of it for (probably) safety, controlling the hypershunts is a good way to do it- I guess they can't sit on the gates because they're a lot more traveled.
I honestly kinda thought the dominion was going to be the big evil though personally. dunno.
there's also the guardians.
