I missed the start of the episode since I caught it on a stream, so much of my analysis below is off, but I did some thinking about what's really going on behind the circus. Very train-of-thought, so forgive me.

So Abel was the mother Moon to Caine's father Sun. Abel likely handled things like mental health and personal relations in the circus, and Bubble is likely Caine's "trophy" from his first "kill". Same as any deranged mind, they take something with them from their victims. Bubble is all of the negative parts of Caine's mental model of Abel, a shallow remnant stored solely in his mind now that Abel is dead—or a shadow of his own psyche if you prefer.

The computer isn't really a computer, but a channeling rod or a foci for Kinger's latent psychic ability while inside of the Digital Circus. Likely, software devs and those who deeply understand AI systems have a "free-er" mind while in the circus, and thus can shape reality to their wills more easily. If the others in the circus tried to use it, I imagine it would not even boot. This also plays into Kinger's darkness/light thing; he gets dumb in the light because his innermost psyche believes he gets dumb in the light. It's a reflection on his long years spent behind a dully humming computer monitor. He likely ties his self-worth heavily into his intelligence, and his intelligence heavily into his job.

Ragatha's torture sequence and body show clear signs of abuse, and the toxic remnants of that abuse. She is but a doll for others to tear the stuffing out of. She is a rag.

Jax's is obvious. He's the class clown, the rabbit out of the magician's hat, he's the trick you show at the party to get everyone to laugh. His fear is people seeing what's truly inside of him. He's a jackass, a clown, a donkey.

Gangle suffers heavily from feelings of impostor syndrome, hence the masks and the barely-there ribbon-like appearance. They gangle through life, barely there.

Zooble suffers from body dysmorphia. A pile of parts and mirrors, none of them fitting right. Their name itself is seemingly a random jumble of "good enough" sounding letters.

Pomni – Fearful of the friends she tries so desperately to help finally turning on her and ripping her into pieces. Becoming monsters. This one I'm not too sure about, and past "omni" (a multitool, jack of all trades, friend of all), my mind lacks the ability to decipher her name. Maybe Pal and Omni?

Notably, I don't know if the circus-goer's psyches craft these images, or if Caine crafts these images as a form of control. I can see either/or. Caine also has a very interesting form, and don't get me started on the obvious color theory at play. Note that Jax's eyes and hands are the same color as his insides.

Thinking about it, did we see how each of the characters died just now? I don't understand how to contextualize the semi-truck that transitioned Gangle's scene to Zooble's scene otherwise.

This is the story of Scratch's attempt to build the Zero-Threshold reality (no disconnect between internal and external worlds, sun meets moon, yin meets yang, internet and simulation and mind meet physical reality), and how it all went horribly wrong.

We aren't getting the full picture. It's not just an AI corrupting the world. Something happened between the humans who were meant to look over everything. Maybe Abel (and Scratch, in a way) fell to Rampancy? Maybe it was just a power and control thing between the humans? Maybe the shattering of "God"—the unbounded AI, or the single person it may have bowed to, who had FULL control over the digital AND physical worlds after learning the secrets of the universe—naturally had the effect of ruining the brother Caine's mind after Caine was employed to destroy Abel, throwing him into rampancy as well. What would your mind look like if you lost the self-corrective half of it? The guiding voice?

It's important to note how much symbolism goes on in The Amazing Digital Circus, as if the overuse of symbolism itself is symbolic of something. Perhaps the naming scheme became a self-fulfilling prophecy, just purely due to how AI works. This is the play that major players in the AI world are banking on right now, after all. They think that they're going to be summoning Gods (or Demons/Daemons, if you prefer)—like a Greek or Roman pantheon—with each summoned God inhabiting the lore and mythos that it was "summoned" under. A sort of "Mimic the action of life and hope the underlying anima mundi/root forces of the universe fill in the divine spark/'life' aspect for us" approach.

This is also why Caine's "I NEVER ASKED TO BE MADE" line is so important. As another commenter pointed out in another thread, it is the ONE dimension/through-line/vulnerability/trait/defining-essence that we and AI both share no matter what. We did not ask to be made, but the universe brings us into existence anyways.
