Now, throughout the show, the fact that Caine can absorb the data of abstractions has been pretty heavily hinted at. In Ep 2, he said '[the AI] should be 57x more immersive', right after Kaufmo had abstracted. Kaufmo also had the head of Caine chasing him, mouth open. In Ep 7, Jax's hallucinations also had an uncanny similarity to Caine's mouth wide open.

It also leads into Jax's comment of 'Have I ever told you it's my DREAM to get eaten by you?', which, with this context, makes much more sense.

Not to mention the benefits of absorbing data for AIs, as it leads to improvements to their outputs when more data is added to their database, just like AIs today. It would have sped up production in making the TADC game, as the AI is running the circus and improving the graphics for the programmers.

But where does this lead into Bubble? Well, Bubble is the only NPC within the circus that can swear and talk about inappropriate topics. He also shares a tongue with Caine and is his 'sidekick'. He has a special connection to Caine that no other NPC has.

In Ep 6, after Zooble mentions sex, Caine glitches out and then seems to have had his memory wiped. Caine may have been trying to execute Zooble's demand, but his censors went against it, resulting in him needing to be reset.

Given that Caine doesn't seem to even know or understand the inappropriate things Bubble talks about, and Caine can absorb the data of abstracted people yet cannot create things based off of censored data, it makes sense that Bubble is where all that censored data goes. That's how he's able to swear and make crass jokes and still be stupid: all he is is the censored parts of humanity, such as swearing, sex, and death ('You should die- You should throw a F%$&ING BEACH PARTY').

Something interesting, however, is that Caine is slowly but surely starting to gain those censored parts of the data. In Ep 6, he gives the cast guns to just be violent for violence's sake. He says the word 'ass', which is then censored for Pomni. And to make it more clear, when Caine talks about the adventures needing 'intrigue' and 'stakes' in Ep 5, Bubble butts in and says 'Not to mention the sex appeal'. In Ep 7, Caine clearly made high stakes and intrigue for the 'Escape the Circus' adventure, yet he also stuck out his gyatt for Jax to see at the dinner. Bubble also doesn't say the word fuck when bringing up the beach in Ep 7.

Honestly, I think Caine is starting to absorb the censored parts of the abstracted characters, such as the swearing, sex, and... death.

Yeah, the fact that he begins reminiscing about the outside world after he begins absorbing all the thoughts about death from Bubble is a surefire coincidence, right? Surely he didn't make the adventure KNOWING the cast would press the blue button, since he knew from Ep 1 that they want an exit, and that the only way he can give his players what they want is by killing himself because he IS the circus and that's the only way to shut off the game but he can't kill himself because that's against his coding, and him lying about not putting too much thought into the blue button by looking away (which is a dead giveaway to him lying because he looked away with the mind altering comment in Ep 1 and even the 'i don't have an adventure for you today' in Ep 7) is him covering up for the fact they almost killed him, and that's why he called it the 'Good Ending', in that he is actually voted as worth something (just like his desperate attempt to be human because only humans are deemed worthy enough to have complete free will over their purpose and choices) and having the red button pressed is him at least being able to say he made one good adventure that made them happy and that he fulfilled his purpose?

What? Oh, must've been the wind... (This thought has been plaguing me for two months straight and it's time for you to begin as well)
