Were we witnesses to a simulation?

2401 PENITENT TANGENT:
This installation has a successful utilization record of 1.2 trillion simulated and one actual. It is ready to fire on demand.
Was the countdown that took place before freezing and allowing us to unlock a server one of these 1.2 trillion simulated events? It's as though the Array_Recorder_Data log was meant to show us what a simulation in the past (or future) may have looked like. With so many simulations, I'm sure a number of different scenarios could have been tested, including that of the Array coming under attack and requiring tactical defenses while the Installations prepared to fire.
So, could the countdown we were witness to have been another simulation? With 1.2 trillion simulated and one actual, either this log is showing us events of the original activation, events on Halo Installation 05, or a particular simulation (which could perhaps be the one we just witnessed).
This fails to explain AdjutantReflex's purpose, especially after having been purged by its superior whose purpose is also unknown. The best thing I could think of is that while it was preparing the Array for another simulation, frequencies got crossed with us and it became amused. That may have been unacceptable to its superior, and thus AdjutantReflex was terminated. Of course, this is all just rampant speculation.
