Okay crazy theory that I’ve been thinking about since my other post: the twist is they are all AI. Not a single character is actually a human. Caine could have “programmed” them with backstories (each character has fabricated memories of their time in the “real world”). This could possibly have been alluded to in the part where each character had a backstory sheet in the “president pomni” portion (except Pomni, which was played off as a joke, but could be significant). Part 2 of this theory is that the real cause of abstraction is someone realizing they are an ai. They lose their identity and just become meaningless code. Part 3 of this theory is that I think, if true, Jax is closest to realizing he’s ai (based on the missing tail part and when he questioned Caine’s power at the bar). I don’t have a ton of evidence for this, but thought it was an interesting idea.

so a lot of people are talking about ribbit abstracting and the creepy mannequin at the end, but there were three things that stood out to me as really weird:

Caine's aside to Bubble--"leave the other intelligent ais to run for a prolonged period of time." Hello? What does this mean? To me it sounded like he was implying everyone in the circus is ai? I don't think that's true but I found this line very confusing. Referring to Zooble as "the toybox character" also felt a bit odd to me--like these are all characters he drafted up and not actual people--or maybe he drafted these characters and "assigned" members of the circus to them? idk.

Jax missing his tail. I know it was played as a joke, but his reaction felt significant to me. I mean, why even include that bit at all? The pan up to Caine especially stood out to me.

"How is this even possible? I thought Caine couldn't--" this feels super important to me. I think it implies one of two things: one) Caine does have some control over their minds, contradicting what he said in the pilot. This obviously has huge implications. Or two) It looks to me like Jax might have come to some sort of realization in that scene. Like, Caine can't normally do that, unless... something.

sometimes you have to search up a character on your own blog just to see what a real one is saying about them
