The Digital Circus Is A Cell That Is About To Undergo Mitosis (Cell Theory)
The characters themselves are chromosomes and they're... going to be split in half.
Kinetochores ONLY appear during the Mitosis stage of a cell's life cycle.
Remember Pomni's Torture Scene?
Like everything in this show, that scene has multiple layers and meaning. But ONE of the layers i've realized is this. The fear of being pulled apart and LITERALLY split into two.
Pomni's "Joke name" wasn't actually a joke at all. XDDCC is a clever way to signal a Chromosome (X) and two dominant allele pairs (DD) (CC) that all would mean Pomni is 100% DC or rather... 100% "Digital Circus".
During Cell Division, the chromosomes are lined up and then microtubules attach themselves to the Kinetochores and PULL the chromosomes, splitting them in half and creating two separate copies of the same cell. Does this scene in Intermission Time look familiar to you?
Caine WILL be back in episode 9. And he's going to line all the little chromosomes UP and SPLIT them in half!
And when he does this... what will we get?
TWO circuses. The normal one we know...
And an EVIL, INVERTED circus.
I'm SO excited about this, by the way!!!
But... a bit worried.
Because I think the fact that Caine died MAY have screwed something up. I know I said Caine will be back and I do think he will be... but he's going to come back in a different form. And we lost the Caine that was keeping the balance of the circus together.
And i'm a bit worried that now the Circus has become unstable and the cell is dying. Check this out...
This kinda looks the same to me like this scene in intermission time... This process is when a cell dies. Through an EXPLOSION.
But don't worry everyone! Well... maybe worry... I do think everyone is going to abstract... Everyone except for Zooble.
Because you see... Zooble is the Vessel whose consciousness is made up of the abstracted cast. They're the ZOOble, like Noah's ark. AND... get this... they look like the "original" and "unknown host"... a MITOCHONDRIA!
And the "souls of the damned" will end up inside of Zooble's Bean-Shaped Body where they will be [A STAR] guiding them out of danger and into a new home!
Oh... you thought this was a silly circus game from the 90s? Well... you actually just got tricked into watching Osmosis Jones the Internet Show. Thanks for nothing, @gooseworx!!!!
So what do you think?
Holy shit dude, how did you figure all of this out?! 😱
You've completely convinced me!!!
I'm... kinda convinced but i'm not sure...
I think this is completely wrong but I love it!
I think this is completely wrong and I HATE it
I'm worried this MIGHT be true and if it is, i'd hate it!

(By the way... I didn't know ANY of this about biology like 3 weeks ago... Gooseworx has me out here studying like i'm in highschool again and I hate it but i've learned so much 😹 All i've been doing is making connections and getting incredible help from other people who know more than me or make their own connections that have all coalesced into this final idea!)
i am sorry to make you all go through this but have you ever experienced sitting in a botany class, going through the cell theory and thinking about how matthias schleiden was a depressed lawyer who was in the middle of an existential crisis and had tried to attempt suicide decided to change his profession and soon developed a ginormous amount of love for plants and cats and started working on the cell theory in the laboratory of johannes müller where, oh my god, he met theodor schwann and how theodor helped him formulate this theory by asking him to expand his area of research and include both animals and plants and how they worked over something so significant together and how they became really good friends and maybe, maybe, hear me out, they might have fallen for each other, after all creating something so significant together is rather an intimate experience for scientists, thinking about how schwann and schleiden were probably boyfriends but schleiden being some body who was little bit of a coward decided to end their relationship because the german society had been very bigoted about homosexuality in the early,mid-nineteenth century, thinking about how schleiden got married and divorced twice because how could he ever fall for a woman, thinking about how schwann never married anyone and perhaps died loving schleiden, man i love botany lessons
-- two factors keep cell size limited
1. surface area increases at a slower rate than the volume for a sphere or cube
2. the larger the cell, the longer it takes for materials to diffuse to the center of the cell
