Who The Other Jasons Are
The Other Jasons are not illusions. They are branching versions of Jason created as the Box multiplies his choices during the search for home.
Why They Are Tragic
Many of them remember Daniela and Charlie and believe their pain gives them a rightful claim. That makes them tragic even when they become dangerous.
Why They Cannot All Stay
They cannot all stay because one family life cannot absorb infinite versions of the same husband and father. Their existence forces the final escape.
