I think there's probably a lot to that, actually.
With TUC completed it might be fair to start attempting to decipher what the 'point' of TUC is, beyond writing the story itself.
If you are interested, reading Bakker's other fictional works might be partially enlightening. He seems to spend a great deal of time talking about ... something ... and even his nonfiction that I've been able to decipher seems to coincide. Basically, he likes to use analogies and fiction to help explain the concepts of his nonfiction musings to an audience well beyond the close knit, in-group, cabal of philosophers that such ideas typically stagnate in.
So, yeah, I don't see anything wrong with reading deeply into who/what Ajokli is, or what he's supposed to mean/represent, to us as the readers.
