Live Forever or Die Trying.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rampancy does not mean death, rather, it just means that they have to be "terminated" so as to not break into important systems and harm itself and more importantly, others.
Meaning, if Cortana goes into Rampancy, she doesn't need to die.
That said, thinking back on the end of Halo: Reach, Halsey mentioned something about Cortana being the product (or having the product) of the research and the underground site... My understanding of AI's in Halo: Cryptum, is that they don't have the same life-span as Human AI... so if technology related to that was part of what Noble 6 transported to the Pillar of Autumn, she might well live for the lifespan of a Forerunner, without falling into rampancy (unless left alone and idle)
