Structure and designation: Is each Halo an improved version?

Did Bungie keep the 04 just as a tribute to Nathan? Or did they also keep it because it was an "Island 4"?
If 04 means the fourth generation of artificial "worlds" then the other installations (1 through 3) would be of a lesser technology, following the other installations (if they do exist) backwards to Installation 01 might bring us to the Forerunner Homeworld.
Anyway, I just came up with a new theory (well new to me at least): We won't see installations 1-3, at least not with any life on them. I say Halo (Installation 04) is the first (Alpha) of the next generation of artificial worlds. The Forerunners may have left it to go to Installation 05 (Beta). Installation 05 might be a huge Niven Ringworld sized place, or at least much larger than Installation 04.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta... Tiers of power, purpose, or control... hmm. We'll see.
