4.0 HAS COME OUT! I ASK YOU TO PLEASE NOT POST HERE, BUT ON THE NEW AND IMPROVED 4.0! THANK YOU!
4.0

Verison: 3.0- The mastered and near-perfect new side of Rainbow Theoryness!

Well, I’m back and I’ve done it again. It isn’t as late as I wanted to release it, but it is updated and new. I regret to inform 4.0 will be quite a while in the coming, and I doubt that there will be much I can do to make this one better until 4.0. But it is the Rainbow Theory, and vastly improved, so enjoy!

(P.S.: These two groups will give you in-depth information about the Rainbow Theory, and one will even let you help compile 4.0. Join and help the effort!)

NOTE-VERY IMPORTANT: Look, some people like to think I made my theory more popular by the use of extra accounts. That isn’t true. It is also not true that this thread was originally locked for that reason. I have done nothing but state my ideas, and then have you post about them. Never have I bumped my topic or said how awesome I was on another account. (The last theory was, however, locked for spam. Please be careful about that.)

Secondary NOTE: Okay, there is NO way this is a Seven theory. It just has to DO with sevens, because Bungie loves them. It’s not ACTUALY a Seven theory.

I found it. Ahh-Rite.

Bungie is obsessed with the number seven. There are seven Halos, seven Moniters, seven is the holy number of God, and a whole other mess of sevens.

So, as usual, I was staring off to space one Wednesday morning in my second period class (Spanish) in High School. Normally, I use the easy-to-ignore Spanish voice of my teacher to stare off into space and think about Halo, and to dream up ideas for my fic (Flood Uprising). That day I was considering the marvels of the ‘Bungie Seven’ and was thinking about ways that I could incorporate it into my fic. I was going through every possible biblical reference that I could, and I stopped on a rainbow. I though ‘Huh… what was that retarded thing we learned in eighth grade… ROY G BIV… HOLY SHNIZZLE SEVEN COLORS!’. At this point I was saying ‘holdup holdup holdup, I don’t know anything about this.’ Then I contradicted myself… the monitors are assigned colors. Seven colors. Seven monitors. Seven Halos. A promise from God that the Flood will never ‘reach’ the Earth again. Jackpot.

So, if we assume that the Halos and the monitors are color-coordinated, this would be the way it goes…

Red: Monitor- 2401 Pertinent Tangent. Halo- Delta. Coming in at- 1st. Installation: 05
Orange: Monitor- Unknown. Halo- Unknown. Coming in at 2nd. Installation: Unknown
Yellow: Monitor- Unknown. Halo- Unknown. Coming in at 3rd. Installation: Unknown
Green: Monitor- Unknown. Halo- Unknown. Coming in at 4th. Installation: Unknown
Here we run into a bit of a snag. I’m not sure if 343 is used as indigo or blue, so I will fill them both out as though they are his halo, although I am not sure. (Also, as far as I know the first Halo has never been confirmed as Alpha, although I will fill it out that way)
Blue: Monitor- 343 Guilty Spark. Halo- Alpha/Unknown. Coming in at 5th. Installation: 04/Unknown
Indigo: Monitor- 343 Guilty Spark. Halo- Alpha/Unknown. Coming in at 6th. Installation: 04/Unknown
Violate: Monitor- Unknown. Halo- Unknown. Coming in at 7th. Installation: Unknown.

So, now we can devise some new information about the way the Halo system works…

The installation numbers are obviously different from the numbers given in the 'Halo rainbow'. My guess is that there are other 'installations' that were not the Halos. It makes sense- the overhead platform upon Threshold could have been called an 'installation', and it wasn't a Halo. I suggest that the Halos were built in this order, but there were other Forerunner objects that were called 'installations' and threw the Halo/Rainbow/Delta-Alpha/Installation system off. (Similar to- Threshold Mining Facility, Installation 03, Alpha Halo, Installation 04)

Now, you might be asking, what’s the idea, Delta Halo is a bigger installation than Alpha Halo! Well yes, but it makes sense that the rainbows may also be assigned by their location in the galaxy. It would make sense, the colors assigned from a central point could give us the location of the Halos. It could also be that Delta Halo wasn’t completed until later, since Gravemind was put onto that Halo and it wasn’t considered complete until he was on there. What does the central color theory do for us? IT GIVES US THE LOCATION OF ALL THE HALOS. (theoretically)

Delta Halo, although it is called ‘Delta’ would have been built/used first. It is coordinated as the ‘red’ Halo and is the ‘first’ (since the Humans could have given it the name of ‘Delta’ it is fully possible it was built first). Housing Gravemind and being the first Halo comes in at some new possibilities.

Alpha Halo could be considered as two different Halos, would be coordinated as ‘blue’ or ‘indigo’ and would have been the 5th or 6th, not first.

Okay, with that information, we must think on the fact that one of the Halos has been destroyed. Going off of the color-based theory, it would have been indigo because indigo is an OPTIONAL color addition (since indigo is now on shaky ground, it still fits into my theory since Alpha Halo *could have been considered indigo* was destroyed). Now, with that said, there are six Halos left. And there are six Spartans left. What does this mean? Are Bungie’s sevens turning into sixes?

And we must also note that the rainbow was the promise of ‘God’ to never release the Flood on Earth again. But they ARE released (just not on Earth). What does this mean? Did the ‘God’ give us a hollow promise? And what caused them to be ABLE to break out and live instead of dieing out like they should have? Was one race re-created too soon and they sustained the Flood? WHAT HAPPENED?

So, what does this whole ‘color-rainbow’ thing bring us down to? A bit of new information, but a bit closer to what I like to call the ‘Bungie code’, and definitely the information that the Halos could have been called ‘The Promise’, or something similar. Also, the side theories give us an in-depth look on how the Halos could have worked, plus the possibility of being able to find the location of each Halo. What will this do for us in the end? I’m not sure, but it will be useful to anybody willing to consider the possibilities.

NOTE: If you have any really good suggestions, post them and your name and theory could come up here.

Suggestions:

pilesofnoodles-

49
343
2401
16807
117649
I started squaring numbers in my calculator. As soon as I did this with the number seven, I noticed that 343 and 2401 were not only multiples in the series, but that, in the correct order, this makes perfect sense for the numbering of the monitors.

Greek Letters:
Α α Alpha
Β β Beta
Γ γ Gamma
Δ δ Delta
Ε ε Epsilon
Ζ ζ Zeta
(First Six)

Del Beano- If you see a rainbow in its entirety, it forms a halo shape. You can usually only see half of it though, hence the "bow" shape.

Spartan624- There are seven layers of Heaven and Hell, all separate. The Highest layer of Heaven holds the 'Almighty Being' while the lowest level of Hell holds the ULTIMATE 'Demon of Darkness'. If the Halos, in the Prophet's sense are the Heavens, and the Chief's sense they are hell, then what if the Ark is the in-between?

MalocanthPrefect- The Prophet of Truth could be considered the Antichrist. It makes sense, seeing as the Antichrist is supposed to hold power and be respected by his followers, and then change everything up for the worst *AKA BRUTES* and then lead a war against the people of God, eventually bringing around the end of the world *IE: Activation of the Halos*

HeadSlaveDave- and instead of the Greek letter, maybe it is military designation letters
A: Alpha
B: Bravo
C: Charlie
D: Delta
E: Echo
F: Foxtrot
G: Golf
H: Hotel

Suggestions Continued:

Blueprint: Hey man I was just thinking about your theory a little deeper and agreed that it was well thought out and processed. Just an idea what if the theory doesn't incorporate rainbows, but just their colors there is another form of spectral light that includes all the colors that you're describing but in a more "halo" like fashion. Its called a circumscribed halo and its typically a brightly colored oval around the sun. It is tangential to the inner 22º halo directly above and below the sun and it is brightest there. Basically its a halo of the colors of the rainbow which form around a white sun when the sun is at 22º and is a drooping oval shape until the sun is at its peak at 50º when it becomes perfectly circular. It could also explain the size differential between the instillations as circle gets bigger as you move outward. Just a theory because I thought it was interesting due to the fact that all the halos of light appear around the sun when it reaches 50º and the fact that the sun is generally white at that time; causing the generation of colors from the white light. It correlates to all the halos originating from the white light (sun and the earth, possibly home of the forerunners); and that all the halos surround the sun. I don't know just a thought. Here’s a pretty good image of one http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/images1/mfsl_r2_c2.jpg

Holy Warrior:
7^0=1
7^1=7
7^2=49
7^3=343 Violet (technically Ultraviolet)
7^4=2401 Violet (approaching Blue)
7^5=16,807 Red (technically Infrared)
7^6=117,649 Red (borderline Orange)
7^7=823,543 Green

Color Wavelength
----------- -----------------
Red 800- 622
Orange 622 - 597
Yellow 597 - 577
Green 577 - 492
Blue 492 - 415
Violet 415 - 340

Now these figures aren't necessarily exact, but I'd like to see you all take a ruler and measure out your own light wavelengths.

This would indicate that the monitor of installation 05 (7^5) would have a red eye.
and this would indicate that the monitor of installation 04 (7^4) would have a blue eye.

Furthermore...
The monitor of installation 07 (7^7) would have a green eye,
The monitor of installation 06 (7^6) would have a orange eye,
And the monitor of installation 03 (7^3) would have a violet eye.

The other installations fall off the spectrum, indicating an eye of a color we could not see... perhaps black or white.

That connects the installations to the eye color, and anyone paying attention might have noticed that the Monitor number is related, if askew, but that's been covered.

I'm aware that as you add infinitely more data, infinitely more connections arise, but this is a single puzzle piece that fits snugly.

(Lord’s Note: Yes, it does fit snugly. But I technically myself don’t believe this theory. It makes no sense for the monitors to ‘fall off’ the spectrum. No, I don’t think myself it would have been done this way)

Helljumper117:
Well when I read the Rainbow Theory, I started thinking about colors and the number 7, and I thought about the pH scale. The number 7 is the number for a balanced pH, so maybe the seven rings were balanced and that was the only way to set all of the rings off. If they were balanced, but now that there are only six, the rings can’t go off and the world as we know it might be swallowed in the "hands" of the flood.

Halo Warrior: Genesis Chapter 9, Verses 12 through 17

Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life. When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.” Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”

The Rainbow represents God’s promise that the floodwaters will never return.

The rainbow in the Halo universe represents the monitors, or more specifically the combined colors of their individual eyes, God represents the forerunners who created the monitors as well as the Halos, and the floodwaters represent the Flood parasite.

Unknown Fan of the Rainbow Theory: A correlation between monitor color, installation number, and the number seven can be found when you take the last three digits of the exponential progression of seven, convert it into nanometers, and match it to the wavelength of the color of the monitors’ eyes.

It is taken from the value 7^n where n equals the installation number, and where 7^n-1 equals the monitor number.

Power_Value____Wavelength_Color_Installation_Monitor
7^0 = 1 --- --- 00 ---
7^1 = 7 --- --- 01 ---
7^2 = 49 --- --- 02 ---
7^3 = 343 343 nm Violet 03 ---
7^4 = 2401 401 nm Blue 04 Guilty Spark
7^5 = 16,807 807 nm Red 05 Penitent Tangent
7^6 = 117,649 649 nm Orange 06 ---
7^7 = 823,543 543 nm Green 07 ---

Another unknown R.T. Fan: It has been proposed that Installation 00 or 01 may be Earth, the Ark, or Onyx. This Installation would have either a white-eye monitor, representing pure light as a combination of all color, or a black-eye monitor representing the absence of all light. A picture of what appears to be a white-eyed monitor appears in and only in the Halo 3 page of Bungie.net.

People have noticed that the alpha and delta designations of the halo’s don’t match up, but it was suggested that ONI has already found most of the Halo’s and mislabeled them based on the order they were discovered. Cortana used Coordinates filched from Colonel Ackerson to find Alpha Halo in The Fall of Reach, which supports this theory. These star coordinates were identical to pictograms on a forerunner artifact in Cote d’Azure

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Digamma, Zeta Are the first seven letters of the Greek alphabet, and the suggested order of ONI’s discovery of the Halo’s.

ty_phi: Something to think about:

You can see in the Bible that before the Flood, man was a race of beings that lived to be well over 200 years. I'm pretty sure that after the Flood, God put an age limit (120 years) and said we would never again get older than 120 as punishment. (I firmly believe in the entire Bible). I think you can say that the Forerunners were a great race that was very technologically advanced and had found ways to extend lifetimes, until the Flood attacked. Just a connection.

Maybe some of the Forerunners built the Ark that would sustain part of their race for a time period until the Flood infection starved, while the rest of the Forerunners were killed by the Halos. That would make sense because the Ark can control the other Halos. Maybe there are going to be Forerunners in Halo 3. Or maybe, just maybe the Human race is actually a remnant of the Forerunners....

Here's the connection that would support that theory. Keep in mind, this is a THEORY.

The Forerunners built the Ark. Noah built an Ark.
The Forerunner Ark was built to house a select few Forerunners that would resart life after the Flood outbreak and the activation of the Halos. Noah built the Ark to house his family that would restart mankind after the Flood.

Also, where was the Ark located in the Bible? On Earth. Where was the Ark located in Halo? Earth.

If the Forerunners DID build the Ark and use it as a safe-haven while they activated the rest of the rings to save themselves from the Flood, that would explain how mankind started on earth. The Forerunners started mankind.

Anyway, before they all drowned except Noah and his family, men built buildings. After the Flood, some of these buildings still remained. Just like in Halo. After the Forerunners went extinct (or did they) because of the Flood outbreak and the activation of the Halos, their structures would still be intact as well, like the Halos and the Forerunner ship.

This is all a stretch, but that's what theories are, are they not.

Let's say that the Forerunners killed themselves using the Halos because of the Flood outbreak. Then you can say that the Flood infection inherently caused the Fall of the Foreunners, just like in the Bible, the Water Flood caused the Fall of Man.

I think its interesting that both in Halo and the Bible, the Flood wiped out the residents of the universe.

Master Sgt hobbs:
But, could colors also be based on how light reflect off something around them or themselves? Shine a light on a glass prism and you get a rainbow. Imagine the ark as a light. Maybe the rings form a prism based on there color. This would pinpoint there position even more.

And what if the light that is bounced off of the Halos is absorbed by a BLACK installation- like a black hole? It could be run by a Black monitor, and it could have some use we don’t know about in the Halo universe.

RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S REALLY MEAN! BLUE, VIOLET, INDI-GO, I'LL SHOW YOU -blam!-S, HERE WE GO!

Side-Theories:

These have sprung up from time to time, and are greatly connected to the Rainbow Theory. So far, we only have 2.

White Monitor Theory: MLG Cheehwawa suggests that the Ark could have a white monitor, since all light combined forms white light

Halo Firing Theory: This was made up by myself, and it goes into what I think would happen if the Ark fires.

Step 1: Ark fires. Sends out 7 rays of colored light, which impacts each Halo.
Step 2: Each Halo warms up and fires, creating 7 ‘Rainbows’ across our Galaxy
Step 3: After Each firing, the light is released and heads to the center of the Galaxy.

Okay, here’s where things come down to one of my other theories. I believe that Forerunners still exist. They are completely fine, and they are only in hiding. It is a (somewhat) well-known speculation that there is a Black Hole in the center of our galaxy. That black hole, scientists reason, is very massive and has such a great pull that it is the reason why our galaxy even exists. My theory suggests that a Dyson Sphere (well known to be used by Forerunners), with it’s minimal design, could survive that pull. It is very small, and in theory could pass right into the Black Hole unharmed. Because of this, I believe that the Forerunners were loaded into a Dyson Sphere on Onyx, and sent on their way to the center of the Galxy. The only reason they weren’t freed last time was because the Halos were set off before they could get to the Black Hole. But I’ll get back to that later. More importantly, the light sent off by these Halos (after firing) has to go somewhere. If it didn’t there would still be light flying off in all directions right now. Where does it go? It goes to a Black Hole, where light is absorbed. On top of that, the only Black Hole that’s position is fixed (theoretically). So therefore, once the light is absorbed by the Black Hole, it comes into contact with the Dyson Sphere, and the Forerunner’s masterful ability at technology frees their Dyson Sphere to escape into a perfectly safe galaxy. That’s my theory, at least.

Step 4: Light is absorbed by Black Hole, Dyson Sphere released, Forerunners return.

Acknowledgements:

First off, I want to thank the people who actualy helped out in the Covenant of Truth and the Rainbow Warriors. They compiled most of the Side-Theories and Suggestions that allowed me to put this small advance in Rainbow Theory design on the charts.

I’d also like to thank all the fans that made it great the first time around. Let’s do it once again, guys.

I walk on edge of oblivion...or do I?

okay so i got down to the part where you mentioned about the 7's turning into 6's. You metioned 6 Spartans, and 6 Halos, remain. Assuming 343 Guilty Spark IS the monitor for the destroyed halo that is theoretically indigo, what purpose does he serve now without his halo? he gives info and intel to whoever has possesion of him. What if 343 Guilty Spark was destroyed? That makes 6 monitors. That leaves us with 666. comonly known as Satan's symbol, the omen, a sign of reckoning, etc. This could all tie in to halo 3. Guilty Spark is everyone's primary source of information on everything halo, flood, and forerunner. He literally knows everything about it. All they have to do is but ask. He is kinda their last hope of stopping the flood, whoever has him controls fate of everyone. What if 343, their last hope, is destroyed? its the end of the world, just like the Cortana says. But why 6 Spartans, why would they be part of this foreboding number? What does Guilty Spark actually mean, does it imply something about him?
What does all this say about Halo 3?

~"The people who play Bungie games tend to sense that there's something behind the games that's attractive to them. Then they become fans of the games. And then they become rabid fans. And then they become employees of Bungie."(Life story) -Marty

Nice theory. Only one problem. Like many people, I thought the halos were evenly destributed throut the galaxy. Then I saw a delited scean from the halo 2 limited collectors edition and it depicted most of the halos as being outside of the galaxy entirely. This disprooved one theory that the halos were spaced evenly appart throughout the galaxy, each as far away as the next as its "range". And that the ark is safe because it is inbetween 3 of the halos and is out of al of their ranges. (each halo has a circular rang. If you build a pyramid out of 3 balls all the same size, there is a space inbeetween them.)(the monitor sais what halos range is somewere). It also disprooves your theory because we already know were the halos are. My theory is that, if the halos are the sword of the forrunners, then Onyx is their shield and earth (the ark) is thier head. When the halos fire, Onyx is directly between earth and the neerest halo (delta halo) so it sisperses the deadly signal and saves earth. This would be a side theory of the NOAH"S ARK theory. I love that one! But I do like how you thought of the 7 colers of the rainbo and applied it to the monitors. By the way, people have descovered a trend in the monitors names and have predicted all of their names. They saw a trend in the meaning of the words in each of their names as well as the # of letters in thier names.

This is my original post about it. Copy it and past it in the forum search box to see the hole forum...I'v been thinking about this a lot ever since I was inspired by http://halosm.bungie.org/story/halostory.timeline.html which, by the way, has some excelent speculations about things. Any way, I'v noticed a lot of similarities between the Halo story line and the story of Noa's ark. Think about it. Both have an all consuming flood which kills any thing in its path. Both have an ark which saved them from the flood( in Halo's case, the ark is the earth which saved the humans when the halos were fired.) In halo, the flood were destroyed, for the most part, by the halos which were activated by the ark, or more spicificly, those who built the ark, the forerunners. In Noahs ark, Noah has a HALO above his head representing his faith in god which allowed him to make his ARK, save humanity, and wait out (or DESTROY) the flood. Halo's story line, however, seems to have a little added on. There is no covenant in Noa's ark. (but could they represent something? And what about their cival war? Or their worshiping the forruners?) What could the Chief represent? The Arbiter? The Monitors?
Well you tell me! Descuss away!!


And here is my cortana theory...When I first herd this I had to replay the cutscean several times to make sure I was right. We all know the myth that you can here the Graveminds voice behind Cortanas in the E3 trailer, but I noteced the opposit affect in the Halo 2 Gravemind cutscean. You can sometimes hear Cortanas voic behind the Graveminds! This can best be heard when the Gravemind sais"Those who built this place knew what they wrought. Do not mistake their intent or all will perish as ther did before." You can, very faintly ,hear a womans voic in there and I'm pritty sure it belongs to Cortana. However that is not the only thing that the 2 movies have in commen. In the E3 trailer, you can easily hear Cortana repeating some of her lines. Its like an echo. This effect gradually faids out so that by the end of the trailer, you can hear Cortanas voic clearly (and see her claerly. Remember the echo effect can be seen sometimes when you see more than one of Cortanas face.) Well the Gravemind has the same effect on his voic. This can clearly be herd when he says " This one is but flesh and faith. And is demortededed.I have read th Halo novels and i remember how Cortana finds a covenant AI abord a ship. The AI has the same echo effect (and may be rampant due to the copying program that makes it echo.) When Cortana uses the program, she starts echoing! Could she have passed this on to Gravemind in some way? Are they somehow connected? There is yet another similarity between the 2 movies which is that both are poems. The Gravemind speaks in iambic heptameter (there are 7 sylables in each line. Bunjie puts 7s EVERY WHERE!!!) and Cortana spoke in iambic octameter (there are 8 sylables in each line).
So now I have asked and you will answer. What do you think??
P.S. Bunjie pleas dont ban me becaus I notice things. If you don't like it, simply tell me to stop and I will. Thanks!

Pleas visit the original topics to comment on my theories. Thanks!

Nice theory. Only one problem. Like many people, I thought the halos were evenly destributed throut the galaxy. Then I saw a delited scean from the halo 2 limited collectors edition and it depicted most of the halos as being outside of the galaxy entirely.


If it's a deleted scene, it may no longer be true. You never know, it was deleted for a reason.

You Catch My Drift??????????

Fisrt off, i saw this post b4 i even signed up on bungie and i thought it was amazing theory. Best ive ever seen. Great Job!!... now Vick sr idk if im stealing, but could Cortana have been copied when we left her in Halo 2??? now while she was going through the systems gravemind some how got into the systems and him and her kinda like got mixed up????? Gravemind did this to get info about where Earth is located and many other things. Idk im not the best theory maker, so this is probably the best i can do
