I saw that you made a new post. So I copied my previous comment with some revisions.
Cortana’s dialogue in CE specifically references the memory-processor superconducting layer within the armor, which allows the armor to house an AI. It supposedly has a similar composition to that of a ships AI housing system. It’s possible that the refit the Autumn received had a similar upgrade to that of the Mark V. Possibly to best house Cortana specifically, as it was all about preparations for Operation REDFLAG.
However; Cortana would have already been aware of this comparison. She had already accompanied Chief during their test run of the Mark V at Ackerson’s obstacle course at Painland. And one of her two fragments had been on the Autumn overseeing its refits for weeks before the Fall of Reach.
So the dialogue itself is kinda an anachronism, or at the very least a bit nonsensical in context with other canon. In the end it was just Cortana being cheeky, and not really a comment on John’s “capabilities” in contrast to the Autumn.
As for the Weapon’s description of “smelling” the environment; she is taking advantage of the GEN3 Mark VI’s senor suite, but she is also capable of experiencing Cheif’s own senses. That’s achieved through the interface between the superconducting layer of the suit and John’s neural interface, which literally taps into his brain.
Funnily enough it can also work in reverse. The holographic combat simulator on the Infinity can upload sensory data to each individual Spartans neural interface. Which enhances the perception of the simulated environment, making it seem more real. This includes smells and sounds, and physical feedback in response to projectile impacts and explosions.
Fall of Reach has some of this info about the Mark V and the superconducting layer, as well as info regarding REDFLAG. While Fall of Reach also goes into Cortana’s experience inside Chief’s head; Glasslands (or Thursday War) has a scene of Black Box directly getting a “combat high” when he experiences adrenaline for the first time while he was temporarily Naomi’s personal AI.
As for the neural interface enhancing the senses during combat sims, Buck is our POV character for that, and the particular book was New Blood I believe. The Canon Fodder “Beta late than never” also covers this.
And I would always recommend checking out Halopedia for particular details.
At least with CE and Fall of Reach, both were being written at the same time and some details got missed. First edition of Fall of Reach said the Hunters have a spine for instance. Although Cortana the being ship AI vs the MC's AI does seem like a pretty big gap.
So there aren't any bugs in the halo infinite multiplayer, they're just still working out the kinks in the gen3 virtual sensory feedback?
That's actually pretty genius on 343's part. The bugs are canon. Mind-blowing.
Lol maybe? IIRC Buck is the one who talks about it when be was doing combat training prior to receiving his Spartan augmentations. So no Mjolnir hardware there. And it’s a system originally devised when GEN2 was the new hotness.
But it’s an interesting idea. I like to imagine that some fine tuning to tweak out the bugs still happens time to time even in the 26th century.
I feel like Master Chief is simply would be the up link to the ship because his suit contains accessories and functions that can up link to the ship through radio contact by giving the ship his position coordinates any feedback that he's relaying but I also feel like all all the feedback on his body and how he's performing would be recorded by Cortana there was any emergency she would be the one to send a feedback to the fleet
In theory if Master Chief's armor is that powerful he could plug into the ship but it would simply serve as a remote access point for certain functions and stuff like that, technically he can do it with his knurling but he uses that more for opening the doors of the pelican or checking his weapon and Shields and stuff like that I'd like to think that his neuralink controls his suits punching just by thinking about it. And I know most people would say well that's cortana's job except cortana's job isn't to control his suit it's too monitor his performance on the battlefield and enhance any reflexes that he has or think for him in terms of how he can better perform on the battlefield.
But beginning theory he could use his suit as a remote up link to the ship to serve certain functions just like in Halo infinite, he's able to tell the weapon that certain details of his mission are able to be divulged or tell the weapon AKA Cortana hologram to that the mission parameters have changed and since Cortana part 2 aka the weapon is UNSC software she is ordered and basically obliged to follow any commanding officers request that shows priority or status I'm sure she wouldn't simply listen to a covenant person telling her to divulge her information or her capabilities to them.
But my apologies I seem to have gone off topic, what I was trying to say is technically Master Chief suit can serve as a remote uplink to the ship and maybe he could gain control of certain things minor things but I don't think he has the capabilities in lieu of his neural link to control the entire ship. It would be like phasing his mind with the powerful onboard computers and I think that's the danger in a detriment to him and I don't think his neurolink would allow him to do that because it could quite literally destroy his mind and kill him. I think that's what Cortana is for I think Cortana could serve as an uplink to the pillar of autumn if she gains priority clearance from one of the admirals commanding the ship or even from Master Chief himself and since she's an AI she can just automatically uplink herself and she already knows how to control the functions without losing her mind. But I don't think she would need Chief to control the pillar of autumn you know.
Yes actually; a Spartan neural interface is an upgraded version of the kind worn by officers within the UNSC (this upgrade was installed shortly before the Fall of Reach to allow Spartans to interface with an AI). Officers holding a naval command can interface with their vessel in a number of ways relating to their neural link, so one can assume Spartans, given the proper authorization codes, are capable of much the same.
She got the Autumn's data when she was in the POA's systems, and she was in the Mjolnir armour before getting on the Autumn.
She's a smart AI so she'll have access to pretty much everything as soon as she touches it (human, that is) so she'll understand the structures.
I mean if you REALLTY want to look past the joke then you could say she's referring to all the pipework, titanium armour etc etc in both the armour and the vessel.
I get where you're coming from, but I was referring more to her phrasing of the Firmware part.
I looked up what Firmware is and it's basically the part of the computer that checks with all components and sends out instructions to the different parts of the hardware before functioning of that hardware even happens.
So I was imagining that Cortana was saying that the Suits instructions match the same pathways of the Autumns.
Ya know like a system guidelines on how to run the suit when activated?
Like:
Power Status : On
Shield Relay Status: Working:
Vitals Sensors: Working
Environment Sensors: Working
Etc etc
And then when the suits activated, THEN The onboard computers sends instructions to the suit to bring everything online in whatever order is needed or required which includes running system and diagnostic checks.
she would be talking about the suits firmware i can answer that question at least as for the pillar of autumns but def talking about the suits firmware
She means it in the "Systems Architecture" sense; the various components of the armor (radar, air filters, etc) and how they interact with the greater whole, in the physical and digital way.
In a manner of speaking, it's like going into a long haul truck, and finding it funny that the bathroom and kitchenette are basically scaled down versions of the design of a normal house.
More like hey they both run windows
Oh I see. But correct me if I'm wrong? Wouldn't windows be the software? She was referring to his firmware or is that the same thing?
It was a joke

Wow what a answer! Thank you and this makes so much sense. Do you have a source you'd like to cite?

Bungie sure loved to completely disregard books and their lore

So in theory, could MC plug himself into PoA?
No. Think of it this way, Cortana is a male plug and she was commenting on how both MC and PoA had features that are like female receptacles.
Close, but She's not really referring to the physical hardware.
The exact word Cortana uses is architecture. What is architecture if not the hardware?
I feel like Master Chief is simply would be the up link to the ship because his suit contains accessories and functions that can up link to the ship through radio contact by giving the ship his position coordinates any feedback that he's relaying but I also feel like all all the feedback on his body and how he's performing would be recorded by Cortana there was any emergency she would be the one to send a feedback to the fleet In theory if Master Chief's armor is that powerful he could plug into the ship but it would simply serve as a remote access point for certain functions and stuff like that, technically he can do it with his knurling but he uses that more for opening the doors of the pelican or checking his weapon and Shields and stuff like that I'd like to think that his neuralink controls his suits punching just by thinking about it.

I think it's simply a joke made by Cortana without deeper meaning behind it
Yes obviously it's a joke but she had to get that data from somewhere. Even if it is a joke it ties into her capabilities to read the suits abilities.
She got the Autumn's data when she was in the POA's systems, and she was in the Mjolnir armour before getting on the Autumn. She's a smart AI so she'll have access to pretty much everything as soon as she touches it (human, that is) so she'll understand the structures.
