Abstract theory
Just to be sure that i wasnt the only one that catched it, but it was kinda implied that when someone gets abstracted is because Caine tried to correct their broken mind, right?
Like, we all know that someone "breaks" before getting abstracted, and they get abstracted alone and are found later. Also, now we know that Kingler knows that at least 1 abstraction was because of Caine (after he says that he can twist people minds and its not a good idea). Also its Caine job as an AI to help the users to not break.
Adding to that, this test was probably to see if everyone was having fun (especially jax). Thats why Abel convinced him to try and get close to Caine to steal the key, so they could talk (Not 100% of this part) and to see if everyone wanted to continue in the circus.
