So, this is a thing.
I guess Homestuck is a gigantic viral advertising thing for yogurt?

Edit - Then I almost immediately go back a page & find that someone else posted about this.
The moral of the story is that I'm dumb.

So, my current theory on LE.

The kernelsprites prototyped each other. Caliborn has entered the game, but has not yet been prototyped by the metasprite. At some point, he will go to sleep, and his dreamself will prototype Calliope, say his own name, and then place his dreamself on his in-Derse quest bed and kill his dreamself, ascending to God tier and merging with the metasprite (which may render its prototyping powers nonfunctional, since Jade doesn't seem to have demonstrated many sprite-related powers - she may still have them, but this would at least explain why we haven't seen LE prototype more things, which you would expect the metasprite to continue doing).

Two possible directions from here.

1: Caliborn has been dominant ever since, both as his dreamself and as the waking original body. This is the most parsimonious explanation, probably, and will likely result in Calliope's awakening at Roxy's hands causing a Tavrisprite-esque explosion on a larger scale (utilizing another mechanism we've already seen), since we'll now have Calliope with dreamCaliborn.

2: Calliope was awakened at some point, and their personalities were not all that irreconcilable. This would account for LE's strong associations with the color green (moreso than the red of his cheeks and the color of his blood), his apparently fused typing quirk of perfect grammar in all caps, his proficiency with Calliope's weapon, and any other connections. This would require Caliborn's personality to still be the most prominent, based on LE's actions.

Both of these still leave me wondering about connections between Doc Scratch and Calliope. Last time I mentioned this I also forgot the obvious "They share a body with apparently LE".

I still have no idea about the pool balls.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Maybe a prosthesis? People in homestuck loose their eyes all the time. Or protection gear for looking into the Green sun?
Maybe some kind of rand(om*rand(om))ness generator to change the alpha timeline?
It's more likely that uu had some pool equipment in his half of the room that got accidently prototyped, followed by the events of your theory.

Oh, right, and the fact that LE is a name that seems to be derived from both Caliborn and Calliope, in the case of #2. Lord is presumably Caliborn's title, and Calliope is the British one.

I just thought of something...

What if, it turns out, Calliborn and Lord English are not the same person, but just one of those weird paradox space premeditated coincidences?

Caliborn does claim to be the master of red herrings, and I wouldn't put it past Hussie to fake us out again. There is the possibility the LE is Caliborn's paradox ancestor, or whatever equivalent Cherubs have.

Eh, it's kind of a moot point, because they're all dead.

Yeah, but what about that means that everyone else's consorts are dead? I'd imagine that Jane's dead consorts are part of her quest - return life to the world. (Which would change the Crypts in her planet's name to something else upon completion, muck like what John's quest would have to do with LOWAS)
