Because of its different origin from the other six Halos in the Array, Installation 07 exhibits conspicuous differences to the other extant rings despite now being the same size. These differences are apparent in the Halo's physical infrastructure and material composition, but also subtler aspects such as the architecture and aesthetics of its structures and technology or the machine language of its distributed computer systems.{{Ref/Reuse|HitD1}} | Because of its different origin from the other six Halos in the Array, Installation 07 exhibits conspicuous differences to the other extant rings despite now being the same size.
