they don't *need* to sleep per se, but they still can, and it's good for letting things process

19:03 uh oh....

I have the theory that the perfomers represent different personality disorders. Anxiety(pomni), fear(kinger), selfishness(jax), anger(kaufmo), basing selfworth on everyone liking them( Ragatha), crippling sadness( Gangle), and Zooble is very antisocial. What if the headset was a technology that was supposed to help cure ppl of their debilitating personality disorders? Strap it on and instantly feel relief from your crippling issue. BUT what if the tech takes those negative aspects of your mind away and dumps them into the circus? That's why they have memory gaps. Also, it would lend itself to making the existential horror even worse because even with a route back to the real world, they've nowhere to go. 😱🙂 Interesting things I've spotted. * Before the introduction song, Caine mentioned "paraphernalia" that "we" would be seeing. That implies objects/items/things, and yet what we end up watching is the trapped performers... * When Caines watch detected a player in the Void, he said, "Oh no, they'll be *spoiled*". That's a word used for perishable goods/food/products..... * When Jax said, "she still thinks it's a dream," he was not talking to Ragatha. He was breaking the fourth wall and talking to us.... * The adventures aren't dangerous, but Kaufmo's abstracted form was as Zoobles fate barely bothered them, but Kaufmo's was seen as a real danger. Re- Jax's reaction to the adventure compared to Kaufmo. *Caine isn't all-seeing because he had no idea what was going on to his circus or players, even abstraction, until Pomni entered the void. Then he still didn't know himself until his wacky watch alarm alerted him. *Caine barely knows anything about the real world.... " *Drown* in the digital Lake,..... *ridery* at the digital fair" hint at that. If that's so, how did he know what offices in the real world look like? Maybe through the cameras in the place where the headset and computer are sitting? That also explains why the exit maze has "A" computer office room but is not "THE" computer office room. I dont think they are the same because Caine's had no windows or natural light, but the one we come out of at the end has natural light streaming across the wall. * Other than the final corridor connected to the void, the Exit Maze was totally stable, until Pomni's extreme reaction to the computer and headset started causing the lights to flicker on and off.... why then? 🤔 Thoughts on "sad and weak" Gangle. With Gangle's masks. They both look fragile, and the comedy mask did break after a small drop.( in a little extra from Gooseworx, we see Gangle looking in a mirror with broken comedy masks all over the walls.) But when she was dragged into the Gloink hole her sad mask smashed into the ground, hard, but didn't even get a blemish on it. That implies that her "smile" is so very thin, yes.... but that her core, sad, self is a lot tougher than she looks. 🤔..😥💪...🤔 I know its been stated that the circus residents do remember their pasts, just not their names... but i 100% believe Jax revealed he has more than his memory from the real world when he mentioned "Augustus Gloop"! Totally a clue that he is working for the powers behind the circus. I also think the scene where the trucks were going over the rough terrain gave us another hint. Everyone bounced around in the truck, but the camera was locked on Jax's face, so it appeared that his head wasn't moving. When you add that to his talking to the camera in the 1st episode, they try to hide that fact by having Ragatha think he was looking at her in a "weird" way. His reward/payment is a free hand to entertain himself and perks like having "keys to everywhere" in the circus. i ultimately think that whether it started for a different purpose the current goal of the circus is to create mindless A.I superweapons, the Abstracted human minds. Caine's role is to distract them with nonsense games while watching them slowly give up and Abstract. I suspect that the "Exit door" he created was designed to push Kaufmo over the edge. Appearing only to him, disappearing, and finally to be pointless when he does get inside. Being that it just accomplished its task Caine didnt know to disable it yet so Pomni got caught up with it.... maybe because she and Kaufmo are both clown/jester types? 🤔❤ I also believe Caine's horrified expression, when he talked about confusing npc's for humans, was referring to Bubble(and maybe the bath mannequin with the screaming mask too🤔). I think Bubble got in from a game, and as an AI, he stayed in the circus long enough to be invulnerable to Caine's powers. "Why are you like this?" "You PARASITE!". "Bubble, you can't say that"
