idk how many other people have said this, but, hear me out.
So, we know that Nicolas Bourbaki is used to refer to a group of people, or a collective. And the rules of Vialism are clearly stated. But, think about this, what if they aren't real. Nico just made them up.
Why would he make them up? To have more control, to keep it to himself and no one else.
It would explain why he's called Nicolas Bourbaki, and, also explains the name blurryface. No one's seen his real face, only the faces of his vessels. And how are they being seized while alive? The black paint. It's used to mark people for it, it's why Clancy was able to use Ned horns to seize, he had been marked by blurryface, and partly was him, kind of like how it is in the stressed out music video.
This also explains what the loop is. Clancy fights blurryface, gets seized, and then Clancy gets sent to another vessel.
(I have more things to say about this but only this much can be squeezed out of my smooth ahh brain rn)
