Theory:
Since alternate decisions and timelines are infinite, does that mean proxies are infinite, slenderman is infinite and maybe good proxies are infinite?
Does this mean the good proxies are the lesser infinite or did Slenderman seal them away somehow?
If so does this Slenderman therefore could control time but also the order of the altogether universe?
Does the journal and the blade have something to do with the order of time? Does it destroy all other paradoxes until there is one set timeline? If so, they're basically the uninverses personified. Is such a small thing...?
Oh, maybe that's why the Collective can't touch it?
Maybe... Noah can fix everything... Maybe the Slenderman can be destroyed if he gets a hold of these things...

EDIT:
Noah hears the Noah in the closet at 5:37 in The Device and gets that ball thing.

So, uhh... Where should I start?

First of all, I agree with some people: I think that the Observer meant for Noah to go back to the closet and the hotel. However, I think that the Observer's plans messed up when Noah was transported back to present(?).

Second of all, while I don't like the theory, I have to say that I am a follower of "the Collective recruit themselves." Look at 3:25 in INTERCEPTION. The blacked-out text is about the size of "We are," making it "We are our saviors and enslavers."

I really hope that we find out more about the Robert guy, whom was mentioned by Firebrand in Interception. He was the name that was blacked out as to whom Noah needed to bring something. He honestly could be Swain because both of them have no leads/info that we know of.

I think Noah needs to check out his tech guy Edward again because that image seriously looks like him.

I know I'm being pretty redundant about this point but I've got a feeling he's in PRETTY deep.

And I love the whole Collective has to recruit themselves throughout infinite universes and maybe EACH RECRUITMENT IS CALLED A SESSION. Observer did say there are infinite sessions. There might be infinite universes as well and in order to prevent the timelines from changing, the Administrator sends out all of the Collective members to recruit themselves in all forms to prevent any switches from happening that could end up in a Matrix-style deletion of themselves.

Maybe the journal has knowledge about wormholes/vortexes. Firebrand mentioned that he tore a hole in the dimension and maybe the journal could seal it. But if the Collective members are outside the dimension when it is sealed, maybe they are stopped forever but if they are inside...then it's truly game over.

ZOMG. That was awesome. And confusing. And horrifying. And AWESOME.

I'm not even going to get into the timey wimey stuff, because it will make my head hurt.

THANK YOU ADAM CLAUS.

So who was the entity standing over Noah's bed in the "November 11th" video? The one appeared to be wearing a white hoodie? Observer? Firebrand? MASKY?!?

[Peppercorn]

I always assumed that a "session" is a task that someone, human or in the Collective, must complete for the Collective, and that once it is done, they are no longer needed and would be disposed of in some way. But it probably means much more than that and I guess its full meaning won't be revealed until the end.

[MexicanIlluminatus]

Also, this is something that I think has not been discussed much:

Who are those three people with masks we see at 1:27 in the "INTERCEPTION" video??

Are we just supposed to assume they are members of The Order? If so, why does the text accompanying their picture read "we all counted on you"?

Are they random unnamed members of the Collective?

Is the one in the middle (the only one who looks male) Swain?

I think this deserves more attention.

Okay, as far as I can tell, these are the events from Noah's perspective. Correct me if I'm wrong:

- Noah sees his future self. Future Noah takes Noah back in time to "The Device" where Present Noah delivers the ball to the closet.
- Future Noah sends Present Noah to the "November 11th" video. Noah walks in and sees his past self.
- Slenderman appears and abducts both Past and Present Noah. Past Noah wakes up with his shirt off a week later, as shown in Nov 11th. Present Noah "Wakes up" as his collective self and becomes Firebrand.
- Firebrand interrupts the Observers' broadcast in "INTERCEPTION"
- Firebrand does everything Future Noah did (Takes Noah to the closet, sends him to the hotel.)
- Firebrand goes back to the "Present" and turns back into Noah. Noah barfs.

[Peppercorn]

Since Noah delivered the rubber ball to his past self, which the Observer told him to do, would that basically mean Firebrand did everything he was meant to do for the Collective, except that he didn't let them take Noah?

So yeah, my mind was fucking blown when it turns out Noah either IS Firebrand, or was sent back in time by Firebrand, yet I was also disappointed because I personally thought that either Noah's old friend Liam, or even Milo, would be Firebrand, but whatever; Noah's choice.

And also, Firebrand Noah says "You're Fucking Welcome."
