[[WMG: The Kona are descended from the Fabricants.]]
The Fabricants need to eat the Soap made from other fabricants. Perhaps after The Fall, the surviving fabricants needed to find another human-based source of nutrition and they wound up steadily becoming the Kona Tribe.

Henry Goose, in his first scene speak about cannibals who ate people and then spit out the teeth. The cannibals are the Kona, who ate Zachry's kin and spit out the teeth there on the shore, bringing time full circle. The bad guys of the Cloud Atlas world all eventually find their way to being good guys. The good guys get taken to the colony planet.

[[WMG: The Fall was either a nuclear war or a massive nuclear/radiological accident.]]
When communicating with her commander via holoscreen, he warns her that her "rad levels" are already getting too high (this only after a short time among the Valley people). The Prescients' ship is presumably shielded from whatever that is, which is presumably radiation.
* Perhaps divisions and rebellions that formed within Unanimity eventually led to large-scale war which ended in an all-out nuclear war.

[[WMG: The film is set in the same continuity as ''TheMatrix''.]]
Specifically, it's one of the previous versions of the Matrix mentioned by the Architect in ''TheMatrixReloaded''. The different time periods are the ''only'' time periods that version of the Matrix simulates, so its total runtime still amounts to 100 years. Sonmi is the One and her time period corresponds to a simulation of the rise of 01 as narrated in ''The Second Renaissance'' (we just don't see any robot), which can be inferred from the levitating plates on the truck, which look very much like those on the Nebuchadnezzar. All different characters played by Hugo Weaving are actually one and the same: Agent Smith, or at least an earlier version of him with the same physical features.

[[WMG: The end of Letters from Zedelghem caused the 'comet soul' to be split in two]]
Book verse only, as in the film the implications about who gets reincarnated as whom are different: [[spoiler:Frobisher's suicide]] could be seen as interrupting the natural birth/death/rebirth cycle and thus have unusual consequences. It would explain why Luisa and Cavendish's lifetimes overlap despite them both having the comet birthmark that implies they are the same soul as the other protagonists. It also might explain why Cavendish feels like a step backwards in terms of characterisation from Luisa - she is a continuation of the better traits picked up during Ewing and Frobisher's lifetimes, while Cavendish is a continuation of some of the worse ones.

In the film, we know very little about what happened to the world between the 5th and 6th (chronologically) periods depicted. The rising water levels could have led to humanity's descent into a largely water-dwelling remnant, leading in turn to the fractured cultures depicted in the final period visited.

Someone had to start a WMG for this. And in this case, it's entirely plausible.
