So now we sort of know what the numbers mean, but what happens now that #4 (Locke) is gone?

Someone suggested that the equation has changed and the total is now different. It would be hilarious if the sum of the numbers in the end was 42.

There's also the issue of Kate's name not being listed.

Wonder if the blond boy is Aaron, or youngJacob starting over.

I still don't understand what they mean. Yeah, Jacob scrawled them on the cave next to people's names, but what does that actually mean?

In the flash-sideways, Locke is still with Helen. During the marriage conversation, Helen suggests they have a Vegas wedding with just her parents and Locke's father. In Locke's original backstory, his father "stole" Locke's kidney and caused Locke to become handicapped. In the FS, Locke is still handicapped and apparently on good terms with his father. So how did he lose the use of his legs in the FS?
