The Theories
Dates
The first big theory was that the numbers corresponded to dates,
For example: 24.14.2 would translate to the 2nd of February, 2024
However, there are several reasons why this theory is flawed: - "Year Zero" itself has been determined to be 2022. - The frequency of the second number does not lend well to the theory.
Bible References
The second big theory came when it was discovered that in the [King James Bible], verses from the 24th book, [Jeremiah], offered a fitting undertone to the overall story.
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as book 24 (Jeremiah), chapter 14, verse 2.
So far, they have been no numbers that no not match up with bible verses
Year Zero Tracklisting
The current big theory is that the numbers equate to characters from the Year Zero song titles.
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as: Halo 24 (Year Zero), song 14 (Another Version of the Truth), character 2 (n)
In this theory, it's unsure what the purpose of the numbers would be.
It is possible that the numbers will form a sort of "decoder ring", if it is a decoder ring, it is unknown if it is currently spelling anything with the clues we have, and because several sites, and numbers were discovered simultaneously, the intended order of the numbers it is unknown.
At the very least, it gives a definite scope of the number of clues which may exist, assuming there is a number for each clue.
