Try a typology to sort this out, and ask yourselves how various theories could either inform our side or be a red herring to the other.
CR is a place theory. Not really super helpful, as there are big castle shaped rocks all over the world, usually named something with "castle" in it. Some might have military or cultural connections, like the Victory sign on the one in CO or the military compound in MN (?).
CR is metaphorical in the "man's home is a castle" sense. Even less helpful unless, again, the Castle fits some activity marker.
CR is a cultural reference we haven't gotten. There is actually a series called Castle Rock--https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Rock_(TV_series)--
based on Stephen King's stories about the fictional town of CR. But it started in 2018--too late for Q? Surely someone has read his books. I read the synopsis of the series and it's a convoluted soap opera of murder, with many flashback scenes. Not much seems applicable except the cast of disgusting characters.
Castle Rock productions. As a source for deep fakes, as a pointer to something else they created, as a metaphor for something a military group with a castle association is doing. I think this is the significant one as it has a signal (lighthouse), water to watch, light cutting through the dark. But that is so attractive I think it is only a pointer, somehow. Like meaning Independence Day from the set it made.
