[SPEC]Glyph Progression? Is the Glyph a timer or meter?
Is this in accordance with the Moon Cycle?

Anyone think the Glyph might be some display of measurement? Perhaps of Time? Perhaps it is some sort of meter measuring progress towards a directive or quota? I'm beginning to think so.

I was noticing the progression of the two glyphs taken from "StarImage1" and "StarImage2" from the servers (respectively). The outermost ring (small circle included) seem to rotate counterclockwise around the center of the glyph.

If you take the two Glyphs and follow the progression, the following photo should predict the third (if any) rendition of the glyph. I'm not sure what sort of relevance this will have on the ARG, but just thought this is interesting.

Is this the third Glyph we'll see on Starimage3.jpg when the third server is open?

If the Glyph is indeed a measurement, what in fact is it measuring???

Thoughts?

edited to add [SPEC] tag. I know the moon question has come up a few times. I'll link the other threads here so you can follow them.

Looking at the Glyphs here, has anyone considered that they might represent 0-5 or some kind of base-6 numbering system, since (iirc) the Forerunners had six fingers.

Or has it been established by the counters that Forerunners use a base-7 systems?

It's been established that Bungie get wet over the number 7.

if we look at the overlay image that somewhone whipped up where he joined the 2 images and if we look at the infestation image which shows something simmilar to a planet with a moon going around it

i speculate that it is a chart of the movements of a planet ( possible infested with floor) moving towards earth

but then again thats tottally me guessing

I know Bungie have an obsession with the number 7, but it doesn't mean that the Forerunners use a base-7 number system. It's speculation without evidence.

I wasn't stating that the Forerunners used base 7 I was commenting on Bungie's obsession with it. I'd say we could speculate that the Forerunners used base 7 since the countdown used it and that was created by a creation of the Forerunners.
