Desmond Hume is Jacob. Ben has trapped Desmond in order to find Penelope who is Whidmore's Constant as well as Desmond's If Desmond cannot find Penelope then he is stuck in time Vonneguts story slaughter house five where Billy Pilgrim finds himself. More connection to Kurt Vonnegut is the Sirens of Titan where Malichai Constant moves between alternate universes and promotes the theory of the chronosyncalstic infandibulum. This is a place where Daddy's share a spot in the universes and are both good.
Getting back to Desmond Hume he is a naturalist and secular humanist and both Scottish. They share the enlightenment theories of that time in histories.
The reason for this theory is that Ben's constant was Alex now killed by Whidmore. This is the true reference to the "Rules" being changed.
So Desmond/must be trapped in order to keep Penelope from finding Desmond and Desmond from finding Penelope. This is also a reference to Greek mythology where a Penelope waits and waits for her man but he is trapped by the wiles of the sirens and he lost track of time.
Lastly, if you look very closely to the man's face that is Jacob. Desmond is a dead ringer in terms of facial similarities.
