Reality 783 question - did the past chapters show us what realities we were in too?

Hi! I started playing in Chapter 5, Season 1 and was curious because I understand the looping concept but do not remember reading about reality numbers. Was this featured in other chapters as well? Just curious about that detail in case it becomes something like Rick and Morty where we eventually have to pay attention to different time lines and where they might cross.

Also, when we came through the portal, Hope and Jonsey seemed to expect this. Do you think we will always follow the same Hope and Jonsey? We did see what looked like a Jonsey the first in one of the trailers on a boat with Peely but I don’t think that Jonsey was the same as ours who they put back in his Vengeance attire. That makes me curious about their new roles in this reality.
