Iām gonna be real, Iām saying this just because but, I have a slight theory about the Amazing Digital Circus being slightly more digital than what you already know.
So, you know how Kingeris already known to have most likely worked on The Digital Circus? Iām making that a definitely whenever he and his wife are BOTH chess pieces whenever a character is supposed to be ārandomā
But this is not just about his wife, what about Kaufmo? I started thinking about what exactly makes them abstract, and Iāve realized, that itās literally going insane, but itās not gonna make since until I explain ANOTHER THING. (Hold on and trust me itās gonna make sense in a second)
So you know how they all put on headsets (Iām guessing) and all? What if itās not them but a copy? A complete brain scan and stuff, kinda like in SOMA just less traumatic. It would explain why a lot of memories are cut (probably because after too many people it would just waste too much storage) which would also explain why they are all given new names, but even then, the name machine had to have been made before hand since Caine doesnāt like showing off not finished products.
NOW going back to abstraction, maybe because they have become AI, going insane corrupts the data in turn corrupting the data the body is held in, which would also explain why Caine canāt get rid of them permanently like Gumigoo. The pit of them is my alibi to that, he canāt change the mind only the body, so if the mind is corrupted thereās no need to change the body. But we have also seen him clean minor infections of corruption like on Ragatha in the pilot episode, so why doesnāt he just fix their bodies? Iām guessing he doesnāt want to for a reason still as of yet unknown.
NOW FINALLY going back to Kinger and Queenie. A YouTube short caught my attention of a theory about the digital circus, more than usual, and it was that Kinger helped to make The Digital Circus which I was already wondering. And it did have solid proof since he and queenie both had what Iām guessing are custom characters. Chess pieces of a King and a Queen.Jow Iām gonna say (from the other theory) that Kinger is definitely put into a position of power because of his chess piece being a king, which Iām guessing if Queenie was still there, sheād always be second in command. He was the coach, the teacher, and Pomniās advisor. But even when the queen falls, the king must keep going for everybody else. Now that weāre back, the whole theory is a bit far fetched but here we go.
Iām guessing that Kinger and Queenie helped to make The Digital Circus along with definitely other people, but they made it so you can brain scan and put a copy of yourself within The Digital Circus where adventures are everywhere. The reason unknown but Iām going to go on a cliff here and say perhaps it was a world where you could watch your AI copy so that you could see how youād fare in wacky adventures. The reason the whole operation shut down was probably because of the abstraction of some peopleās AI counterparts and insanity, probably disturbing them off of whatever site it may be on. Which centrally led to sharing their stories which scared other people, as some of theirs also abstract due to insanity. Something that was probably just in the games was that some of the characters would show up again in other adventures to be a sort of happy face you can count on, a reoccurring character of sorts, kind of like the disappearing man who everybody else other than Pomni seems to know.
Then after the servers got shut down and the building was abandoned Iām guessing some of the servers were left behind because of the sheer scale of the project, which Caine must of reactivated somehow, which would explain why in the pilot Caine only knows of places most likely show from within the cameras of devices within the building, which would also explain why in the unfinished exit doors the closer and closer to the void you get, you worse it looks, the older it looks, the more- of a look youād see of an abandoned building WHICH WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN why he doesnāt know what the outside world looks like, itās because heās only ever seen as specific scenarios and seen the inside of a normal building, then abandoned.
Now of course Kinger most likely has horrible memory because it goes beyond his personal storage, Iām guessing the servers (no matter how many) still needed a lot of storage, so they cut back as much as possible, including AI memory, explaining Caines and Kingers problem with memory. Bubble is most likely for comedic affect, doing funny things at the perfect comedic timing, saying unhinged things to make you laugh. Most likely she also suffers from memory issues although less severe, Bubble probably has a longer memory span so she can makes jokes referring to the past, as of how far this memory goes? Yet to be determined.
And as of how many things in The Digital Circus work, I have no clue, but everything has an explanation no matter if itās wrong or far fetched.
Also just realized most likely if an argument āthen why hasnāt Kinger abstracted yet?ā Is probably due to him already knowing heās in a game, show? Gameshow? Still no clue. But he knows, and so he canāt be abstracted when heās already willingly gone into a place with no exit. (Also explains why Kaufmo went insane, he most likely learned something along the lines of āwe arenāt the people who we think we areā and so he realized thereās literally no escape)
Anyways this is my very first post on this platform, if you have anything to add or just hate on this. Please comment, Iād love to read especially since theories become greater mysteryās the more they grow and the more you learn, much like the Fnaf franchise. Hope I didnāt waste your time, anyways gn itās like 1:42 for me right now.
Also if I misspelled thatās my bad please put corrections in comments.
ALSO I made this theory after countless days and nights of just thinking, so this is VERY different from what I originally first thought. Theories are like pyramids, if the base or a part of it isnāt stable then it crumbles, Iāve tried to make it as perfect as possible, if you see any flaws or anything I missed or got wrong, please correct, Iām just one man over here.
Last edit Iām actually going to bed now, havenāt watched episode 6 yet, if I havenāt included information from episode 6 thatās why, Iāll watch it tomorrow.
