[[WMG: The "Blink" was the Matrix activating]]
Now that we know the Praeses operate multiple different realities/simulations/whatever, it seems like the Blink could be the Praeses isolating the superhumans into one reality isolated from the many others.

[[WMG: The "Blink" was actually a time gap of several millenia, perhaps as part of another entity restoring Earth's life from a saved backup.]]
The massive number of changes that happened in the Blink - the stars changing, especially - suggest that the Blink did not really happen in an objective instant, and that Alice only perceived it as such because she was frozen in time while the other changes involved were made. Of course, this presupposes that another entity could have done it - maybe the Praeses, or even whoever made them?

[[WMG: The "Grove" in Alice Grove refers to the Praeses]]
The Praeses are clearly something related to trees (the names are tree genus and they're specifically referred to as trees several times, though it's yet to be shown if they're trees like we know them or not). So "Grove" doesn't have anything to do with Alice herself, but more with a relation to the Praeses.
