It's just a few lines about John Locke.
--
So let's recap :
The compass is just a paradox-object (thanks to Cantigas). You know : like the chicken and the egg. We probably (time will tell) will never know where this object came from.
RECAP :
1) - Locke (501) is shot in the leg by Ethan. Richard gave him the compass.
2) - Locke (503) gave the compass to Richard and told him that Jacob sent him. That he's the so-called leader. He proposed to Richard to visit him the day he will be born. In 1956.
3) - In 1956 (411) Alpert assisted to the birth of John Locke. Years later (by time travel or just by normal means, like waiting ahah) Alpert visited Locke again (at the age of 6/8). He asked "What object was yours?" and the little Locke chose the knife, not the compass. Richard Alpert wasn't pleased. He thought "He's not the leader at all". But Locke did chose the right object : the knife. I'm sure that it is his knife from the future. How did it end-up here? Probably because in '54 (502/503) John Locke totally killed that dude from the past. So it was the destiny of this man to die because of this. Because of the knife.
So much for the ultimate "self-made man" theory. John Locke created his own myth by believing he's the one. Time-travel helped him that way. This and, of course, the all "I'm not crippled anymore" thing. Yeah, I'm sure Lukhs was right about that.Theory by Hugues Derolez
