Yeah, the whole reflection of the shattered bubble in glasses happened... twice, I think? First with Equius, then with Dave. So that's probably significant somehow. But since the same effect is there when PM and Jack are floating in the Furthest Ring watching the aftermath, and they don't have glasses, I think it's not just a reflection gimmick.
Jake definitely has something to do with LE, given that his entry tree included a little hanged voodoo doll of Caliborn! And he probably is the source of the name, because Hussie loves temporal loops. :-)
Caliborn did NOT prototype himself. Instead, he enters about one second before the crashed meteor would have torn free from the ground and flown into the black hole -- you can see it shake and tremble right before it flashes white and blips into the Medium. But! I have seen a Tumblr theory that what the kernelsprite actually did (beyond destroy a universe) was prototype itself with the Red Sun, which Calliope told us was dying... and we know kernelsprites have an affinity for the dead and the doomed. Which makes for an interesting counterpart to the Green Sun. Here is the post in question.
I don't know why he's following the kids and trolls either. Of course, I also don't know why he goes around destroying universes in the first place, but it's not a huge stretch from uu's general displayed personality -- I guess he just likes breaking things. And presumably he doesn't want to be stopped. *shrug*
