To be fair, his behavior could just be the nihilistic realization that in the Circus nothing maters, there are no consequences. And wasn't it said that Jax deserved to be there the most? Would that not suggest that he is in a similar situation to the others?

It could also be interpreted as him being born there so of course he deserves to be there, it's where he was born. Though that's just a theory

The only problem that I see with specifically Jax being the NPC is that he made a reference to Willy Wonka in the episode. To quote, “we’re seconds away from being Augustus Glooped!” Something that I imagine a human would know/reference, but not Caine, and if Caine wouldn’t know it, why would any of his NPCs?

[@SixthUsername]

I think Jax realized a while ago that they're all immortal and the most pain they seem to be able to feel is mild discomfort. If they're ever in any "danger," Caine will just save them. The real threat is losing your mind and abstracting so he's doing his best to keep things interesting for himself and others without being able to cause any serious harm. He's basically pulling a zero-approval gambit to keep everybody from succumbing to the monotony.

[@fionazelmann7541]

this makes sense. getting a rise out of doing random obnoxious things just to make people feel something so they don't lose their humanity and abstract. might just be his way of trying to help people even if it makes him unlikeable. not even saying his way is a good way, but it might be his way all the same. the animation of his discomfort at being reminded of the recent "death" is purposeful as the animators had to actively animate that moment so it definitely means something in respect to that character.

Hey there! I am so sorry for all the bots you got on your comments. So I wanted to comment a real comment.

And I mean, we've all seen what doxxer jerks are like online... It would also explain why he's so engaged in the activities. He wanted to get in on this game with crazy advanced Ai, but not just to play with in its intended way, more like how people make torture builds on games like The Sims.

TBH, I think Caine’s line was more meant to imply that he *deleted a human* not that an NPC is a cast member. That’d be a nice twist, buuuuut Jax made a pop culture reference. Given that all the NPC’s have no knowledge of anything, that feels misleading, if someone really is an npc

[@fionazelmann7541]

if jax is an npc why doesn't he have a character model with all the other npcs? like the other humans jax doesn't have an npc character model.

[@RafilaWan]

If anything I feel like the line was implying Caine doesn’t remember whether he’s human or AI. I think it’s pretty clear he’s most likely human since biblically Caine is paired with Able as his brother and the office backrooms thing had a C&A logo. So Caine and whoever Able is here made the game, but Caine’s possibly forgotten he’s human.

I didn’t have enough time to watch the whole video so idk if this is mentioned but some people (including myself) think that Caine might be struggling to remember if HE is an npc. Another theory I have is that Zooble or Kinger is an npc. Kinger is just really dumb and doesn’t remember things from a few seconds ago and also know a suspicious amount of things about the digital world as proven in episode 1. Zooble is just cold and distant and the character we know the least about. Gooseworx has confirmed that episode 3 will be about Zooble. She has a also told us that there will be a big plot twist and most people think it will be “Jax is a npc” but maybe Gooseworx thinks no one will suspect her favorite character to be an npc. But remember, it’s just a theory!

The main hole with this is that Jax is pretty humanized despite his cruelty. It’s implied that Jax’s wickedness is just a mask to cover the fact that he’s hurting, and we even see him give a sad expression when he hears about Kaufmo’s funeral. However, we do know from Gummigoo that AI can be advanced enough to have complex feelings, but Kane implies that that’s a rather recent development in new AI.

He also doesn't seem to like the other characters either like at the end of episode 2 when Jax doesn't attend Kaulfmo's funeral, kinda like at the end of I have no Mouth and I must Scream where AM goes into Ted's mind and tells him how much he hates humans, this could comply that Jax is a NPC.

[@sammi3338]

I believe Ragatha is a very likely candidate for the NPC twist actually! Whether or not she’s aware of it, she definitely acts as a “tutorial” type character; helping Pomni along with her arrival, trying to keep her on track with Caine’s antics, interacting directly with the candy princess and leading the gang along… she’s very mission oriented! Maybe that’s what she’s programmed to do. Not to mention, with Kinger being there the longest, she seems surprised that he remembers something about her from so long ago, shouldnt that mean she should be even slightly deteriorating mentally alongside him?? But in fact she seems one of the more stable of them all! Anywho, just my thoughts, just wanted to put them out there in case I’m right one day haha

[@justapersonwithtrauma2947]

That's my thoughts too. She's acting like a "Toriel" type of character. Also Kinger's line about Ragatha taking so long to adjust seems like a weird throwaway line to me. Maybe it's because she's an NPC trying to blend in with the humans? I don't really like the idea of Jax as an NPC cause it makes his character more shallow. Like he's only doing this cause he's programmed to seems to be a cheap origin for a character. I like the theory that he was a game developer(it's why he has access to the circus) and a friend of his abstracted. After that he became more nihilistic. He's just letting his sadness and anger out to the other characters

[@jan_harald]

@@Vickyshoka an AI would also arrive, though much like in the pilot the adventure happened inside the circus, but second episode was in separate world, and how pomni appeared in the middle of the theme song (which was probably another adventure), it's definitely very possible that ragatha just showed up alongside the rest of the people after some adventure quest, where she was the tutorial helper of that world, and caine mistook her as just having arrived while he wasn't looking or something... but that's just a theory...

I think like how Kinger is likely the QA tester, Jax is likely the System Admin and his special skills have low-key translated into the Digital Circus. He is a human but like later in the series will be revealed to have a huge role in finding an escape route with his _access_ to keys and all.

[@Mcgg-zj2og]

The creator of the show said Jax deserves to be there the most meaning that Jax was a real person

[@Elder_Keithulhu]

I find myself wondering if both things are true. I think it is possible that there was (still is) a human Jax that was a system admin but the Jax we see is an AI that replaced him. Perhaps our Jax was an NPC or programming assistance tool that saw an opportunity and replaced the original. That could end up with a second Jax showing up later. The other Jax could be partially abstracted or initially seem to be an evil twin before revealing that the others have been living with an NPC doppelganger.

[@starstudios5954]

Another idea is that Jax did skip out on Kaufmo’s funeral, maybe because he doesn’t appreciate how AI are just forgotten (Gummigoo’s death) and how humans are deemed more important by the cast. Just an idea, because he seemed a little sad when the characters mentioned giving Kaufmo a funeral. This is in contrast to Jax’s carefree attitude when Kaufmo abstracted, despite everyone else seeming surprised or upset.

[@jaydenjayden3778]

I was hoping for some sort of explanation to cover up the hole in this theory because otherwise it wouldn't make much sense for Jax to make that emotion and proceed to hide it from everyone else. I think another possibility is that while Jax is set out on tormenting the humans in the circus, he may also have gotten attached to them. However I think one glaring issue with the entire theory is that Cain just recently developed ai that could become self aware so it doesn't make sense for Jax to be this life-like before Cain had made that improvement

[@AVeryCasualGamerGirl]

Cain is pretty lifelike. Maybe Jax and Cain and Bubble were all orginal NPCs made by the developers rather than Cain.

A few things I wanted to mention about the show, that cOuld be nothing but could potentially be something. 1) Early in the first episode Jax mentions Kinger to Pomni saying “he’s supposedly been here the longest” possibly insinuating he knows how long he’s actually been there but is going along with what others have said. 2) The ‘exit’ door Pomni goes through is different than the one she first saw. The arrow is pointing in a different direction. The one she goes through has the arrow pointing away from the picture of the door ON the door. The one she originally saw when Caine was showing her around the map had the arrow pointing towards the door. And while she’s inside the office backrooms, the arrow changes direction with every door she walks through. It’s pointing away from the door until she walks through, then it’s pointing towards it. Could that potentially mean there IS an exit? What would’ve happened if she walked back through the door she came through? Nothing? Maybe. Or would it have changed? Who knows. 3) Were the characters that these people embody randomly chosen? Were they picked by the people in them and they don’t remember doing it? Or were they chosen based on the individuals personalities? I wonder if it’s the last one because Kaufmo was a clown that, as mentioned, told jokes often and Gangle is actually always sad after their happy mask is broken, just as a couple examples. If the character models WERE chosen based on their personalities, is it just because whatever AI is here scanned their brains so well that it chose models from that? Or is it because whoever put them here knew them personally prior to trapping them here? Just a few things I’ve been thinking about. If anyone even sees this, let me know what you think!

I also think each character has their own physics, Jax defies gravity sometimes because he's supposed to be an old rubber-hose cartoon. Kinger's hands can detach from his body completely, Zooble is themselves, Gangle is of course made of ribbons and they can fall apart + the mask, Ragatha is made of stuffing, and Pomni is apparently sort of rubbery or stretchy.

One issue with the food, bringing up the lack of need for food for people but then stating NPC's like the gummy gators needing syrup to bring back to their village that probably doesn't actually exist is more of a Magoffin than proof of anyone needing food, NPC or not

[@amberreed5324]

Honestly a better proof for this would have been the fact that it seemed like the gummy gators were cooking/eating the eggs in that scene, but since they don't eat them and there's no hunger-consequences, I don't think Caine knows that hunger has detrimental effects. He almost seems like some AI does in the current real world: Can replicate ideas enough (i.e. Hunger = Food, Humans tend to hunger, therefore humans need food - or in AI art logic: Hands = Fingers, Humans have hands, therefore humans have fingers) but don't understand the baseline "Why" this situation is happening (Hunger gives the body fuel to continue, and without food the body deteriorates ~ Fingers help humans grab on to things and so the placement/length/number is specific). Any of the human souls stating hunger without need further confuses Caine, since suddenly 'Hunger' isn't a necessity, it's just something to do when you're done with a task.

Wait, then how did Jax get a room because only real people (or their conscience's) get rooms, we know this because in the room hallway when we see everybody's room there is no Caine or Bubble room (because their both A.I). So if Jax was an A.I he wouldn't have a room. Also in the first episode of TADC when Pomni tries to take the headset off Jax says "Just keep grabbing at it that worked for all of us." he says "us" meaning him and the cast all tried to take the headset off, so if Jax was an NPC it wouldn't make sense for him to say that cause he knows he doesn't have a VR headset on.

[@mason7067]

I think it could be Gangle. For a few reasons, but mainly because Gangle doesn't seem to have a human personality, being controlled by the masks. The line " Aren't you supposed to be submissive and agreeable" also could suggest that Gangle is programmed to fill a specific role, and Jax knows about it.

[@jan_harald]

that's more because jax knows about the masks, sad gangle being too sad to argue, that'd also explain why he keeps breaking the mask all the time, because he likes having a servant who'll just do whatever you want, doubly so because of blackmail

Caine describing Gummigoo and the others as “rotten bandits” despite making their AI immersive enough to have reasons for stealing makes me question if he actually creates the AI. The fact that the AI is immersive enough to have an existential crisis makes me believe that someone outside of the digital circus is tampering with the world to make it capable of withstanding AI. It’s a stretch, but I feel it makes sense from a realistic point of view

[@eggplantontoast]

instead of jax being an AI, he could very well be the one doing all of the tampering on the outside, kinda like a plant to watch over them and torment them.

[@sable1334]

Or Caine called them rotten bandits to set player expectations, so that those expectations could be subverted later. If his players decide to investigate the crocodiles, Caine has a plot twist and a moral dilemma lined up for them.

Well you know how modern AI you kind of prompt it and it outputs something? What if that's basically what Caine does. He is presumably making AI that is smarter than himself... somehow. And how would an AI do that? By using another AI. But you know, a sort of background low level AI.

[@dylanglassgow7458]

2 things that weren't mentioned: first, if jax is an npc, it could be assumed he was from an adventure, and most likely was themed to match it. he's clearly a looney tunes style of cartoon character, so it could be possible his cartoony nature is why he is so prone to enjoy and seek out, as he says, violence and chaos, which is what most old cartoons amount to. this basically would make him a cross between roger rabbit and judge doom secondly, on the other side of it, in episode 2 jax mentions augustus gloop in the chocolate river, implying that he is either human and knows willy wonka, or the willy wonka reference is coded in and somehow jax understands it well enough to make the reference himself, which seems unlikely

[@Grayscale10a1]

it might be a bit of a stretch, but perhaps he learned the reference from a previous person in the circus. I don't really believe the theory but I think it's an interesting idea.

[@MirTheWizard]

My one main problem with this theory is a small detail where Jax mentions "Augustus Gloop" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I feel like this implies he has clear knowledge of the outside world if he made a reference like this so i'm not sure that he's an AI. (sorry if someone said this already i probably didnt read far enough to see it :p)

[@lepenguin325]

is that a mir the wizard right there

[@banaman7746]

don't forget if this theory holds true though, that he is surrounded by other humans who may have knows about that. and since we don't know what the last character was like, it's entirely possible it was a reference that he had heard from the others.

[@MirTheWizard]

While this might be possible, I would be surprised if Jax was able to remember this very specific reference that can only be used in a very specific situation. Not saying it's impossible as it might be true, just not as likely in my opinion.

[@honu2980]

I'm writing this half way through the video so I don't know if this is mentioned. But Gooseworx has said that people will come to hate Jax in a later episode due to his actions. That has to be related to the torment Jax theory. UPDATE: yep lol! 18:00

They're in a digital space, so borrowing someone else's model doesn't have to be impossible. It's possible the original Ragatha decided to stay on some adventure world while an NPC took her place, or that she flat out abstracted (episode 1 shows that Caine isn't immediately notified of abstractions) and some NPC saw the opportunity to take her place. The only issue with that is that the show is character-focused, which means it's more likely to explore a change in personality than a simple switch, but that's just meta reasoning. I also don't think an old AI could pretend to be human, but I'm going with the premise of this video for fun.

Another thing about Jax is that he is the one unlocking all the content in the adventures. In Episode 1, he was the leader and directed the characters to their objectives. In Episode 2, if he wasn’t so forceful, they never would’ve met the Fudge, a main character according to the dev room, because Gangle’s driving would be less reckless and Kinger wouldn’t throw the anchor overboard for Pomni, who was thrown out by him.

[@Michmackpaddywack12]

Also, the food thing mentioned is disproved moments later. Kinger says, though quiet, they feel a "digital hunger" and no one bats an eye when Jax talks about being hungry.

[@FaeChangeling]

I still think there's a definite possibility that it's not any of the main cast and is instead someone we haven't been introduced to yet. The way Caine talks about it, it's like something very big and very bad already happened, but if Jax was the NPC all along then he's kinda just been vibing with the cast and not really causing major issues that would warrant Caine's extreme reaction or delete-on-sight protocol for NPCs in the Circus. Whilst maybe not as narratively satisfying, I feel like it's more likely we'll get some kind of flashback to a character who used to be with the main cast but turned out to be an NPC and made things go haywire, before Caine ended up deleting them. And there's a good chance that Ragatha was the one who brought them in based on her comment of "is that allowed..?" to Pomni's suggestion of keeping Gummigoo around.

[@reiianyt]

I feel like if Ragatha had been in that situation before, she would have said something closer to an affirmative statement: "Uhm... That's not allowed, Pomni" Or maybe a shocked response, like: "Wait, why'd you bring in an NPC?!" Since she expresses doubt, it is unlikely she's been in that situation before.

I actually think Gangle is a pretty good candidate for being the AI in the group.

The idea of Jax and Caine both being different parts of an NPC computer program also kinda lines up with parts of the original material the show was based off of: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream Caine is supposed to represent AM in this instance as the “rogue AI” on the surface. But I also think Jax lines up with AM’s motivations as well. While Caine is kind of like AM in the I have no mouth point and click adventure game (sending the humans on weird adventures and riddled quests) Jax is more like the AM from the short story and radio drama, evil, conniving, angry, tormenting all of the other characters just because he thinks it’s funny, or he gets some sick pleasure out of it
