Forum:Monitor Naming

I have noticed that some users who are making articles on Forerunner Installation Monitors are naming them against the canon.

If you know who the two canon monitors are (343 Guilty Spark and 2401 Penitent Tangent), you will realise that the numbers and naming in these monitors are similar.

Each monitor has a number that is seven multiplied by the number of itsself. For instance:

7 to the 3rd Power is 343. 343 is the monitor of Instillation 04.

7 to the 4th power is 2401. 2401 Penitent Tangent is the monitor of Instillation 05.

A list of numbers would be:

The Ark: 0

01: 1

02: 7

03: 49

04: 343

05: 2401

06: 16807

07:117649

The numbers are reversed because there is a 0 and 1 for Is00 Is01.

Also the names are similar, as Guilty Spark and Penitent Tangent are similar in meaning. Therefore, other Halos probably use this naming system, and a valid monitor name would be 16807 Questionable Motion (Don't take this name, I am going to make an article on it)

So I thinking that the wiki will need some invalid monitor cleanup and/or name changes to keep true to the canon.
