I don't think the Forerunner (or otherwise) would carve the name of a federal agency into their work. I think you're seeing patterns and turning it into an N because you WANT to see it. Someone has said before on these forums that our minds hate not making sense of things. That's why it's you get so disoriented on a spinny thrill ride. Your brain is try desperately to make sense of what's going on, but it can't keep up. So to try to compensate, it's wired to find patterns, especially faces. Things you learn early in childhood, too, including letters. Sorry, you're at a dead-end.

well, how did the chief know to activate the light bridge in halo 1? the forerunner knowladge is buried in the subconsious, according to the covenent. so, maybe that symbol was intentionally and yet unintentionally put there by humans. meaning the consturcted the roads, and subconsiously were creating the symbol.

not sure if i remember where it is exactly, but in the e3 H3 tralier when they are in space, (the chief and friends) and it seems right after it shows the cheif walk up to the front of the pelican, if you look out into space i think its at 1:27, there is an object that looks oddly ALOT like a halo, im not sure if thats right or not though, im on a crappy computer at the moment, and i wont be able to check it out until i get home this weekend

well cortana asked the chief "how'd you know what button to press?" and the cheif replied "I didn't"
and in halo: FS the some elites are talking about how doctor halsey found the foreunner artifact buried under reach and the one said something to the extent of "All sentient beings are at least subconsiously drawn to the forerunners greatness"

im too busy to check that second one, but im pretty sure its a good summary of it

got it! the forerunner are stormtroopers, and they constructed mini tractor beams into there artifacts! lol, nah but maybe the covenant and humans arent the forerunner, but are just a sub-species of the forerunner, both evolved to fit in with there environment. and thats why they would be a subspecies, and thats why they would all look so different.

But that doesn't explain how the Covenent can't activate Halos and other Forerunner structures while humans can.
