I believe that “Jacobs” cabin moving locations is a hint to the fact that things CAN be changed and probably have been throughout the entire series.
The only reason I can think for the Cabin changing locations is if it was built in two or more different locations depending on certain events in the past. For example suppose on the first iteration the Cabin was built in location A. Our Losties go backing time, or someone else does, and does something that changes the location that Horus decides to build it. Now suppose that the losties are outside of the loop in the present day on the Island, as the loop continues to occur in the past the cabin changes locations in the future where they are. (I’m not sure if this entirely makes sense?)
Anyway the fact that the cabin can appear in different locations suggest to me that things in the past CAN be changed as the location of the cabin is constantly changing.
Now a big question remains. How does anyone know what location it will be in at any specific time? Are some of the characters minds altered with each change so they always know where to find it? I’m drawing a blank on trying to explain that but I still think the movement of the Cabin indicates a change or changes in he past.
A side thought. When did the cabin start moving and how regularly does it move? We know that it moved at least twice in the couple of months that the Losties were first on the island yet if it is the same cabin the Rose and Bernard were living in it presumably didn’t move for 3 years while they were there! Does this mean it didn’t start moving until after 1977? Did Jug head cause this phenomenon? Appologies, I’ve ended up asking more questions than proposing answers!
