I understand your strugglings, but IMO it would be too complex ! Think about the reader, he will be, at least, as lost as the New Arrival, then you will switch to 3rd person objective, then 3rd person subjective, and "red herrings" on top of that !

No one will ever make the effort to read that til the end !

If you want to maintain the POV switching, you have to simplify : 1st person for all as in Faulkner's As I lay dying for example.

Experimentation is good, but not if it's to the reader detriment !
