Here is my theory...the Rings are fired in 3 as a last ditch effort either to stop the Flood or Convie or both. The is on or is Earth. The Chief uses it to not only fire the Rings but also to escape the blast. The Ark jumps into Slipspace and advanced form of it. PErhaps by accident or on purpose the Ark deposits the Chief 100,000 years in the past with his advanced tech and maybe one advanced AI (Cortana). Marooned in time they establish a new society. make the bestof things. 100,000 years pass. The Chief is dead but the society he founded has flourished. They perhaps forget their beginnings. They develop new tech and new home worlds. The Rings resemble Earth. We arrive at the current point in time. The point where Halo 1 begins. It repeats.
I understand. It's a loop. In "Halo," 343 Guilty Spark remembers either "John," or the "eternal hero mjolnir guy" in this loop. And you suggest 343 remembers the last time mjolnir guy (mc?) activated the ring.

You also can't explain how the rings have only been activated once. Obviously, with your time travel theory, a mortal being such as the chief wouldn't be able to remember the Oracle. However, 343, who survives through time, would have no problem remembering the Chief - even after 100,000 years, right? Now, the first time you meet someone, you can't remember them. It's an impossibility. However, with a loop, you could remember them the second time you meet this person. In this case, the Master Chief? If the Oracle remembers the Chief, it would be because he remembers him from their "first" encounter.
Yet the rings have only been activated once? hmm..
I could try and pretend as though Halo 3 predates Halo. You claim it's a loop afterall, right? And MC activates the rings for the "first" time in Halo 3, but that wouldn't explain how 343 Guilty Spark and Pentient Tangent remember the rings being activated "once" in Halo and Halo 2 by their creators. If your loop theory were to hold up, they would have to remember that the ring has been activated twice.
When do they start keeping track of the activations in your loop? You have to remember AI's don't forget this stuff like the "eternal hero" would.
