Here's my first theory:
The Submachine was created because the people who created it wanted to discover the "Pattern of the Universe". They believed that if you knew the Pattern in its entirety, you would also know the Universe in its entirety. The reason that there are such strange mechanisms is because the machine is preforming tests and slowly changing its structure to be closer to a piece of the pattern.
Now what does this have to do with the pattern? Think of it this way: have you ever seen those posters where there are a bunch of pictures that, when looked at from a distance, look like the Mona Lisa or Abraham Lincoln? Each part of the machine is one of those pictures. And instead of the Mona Lisa, the big picture is the Pattern. The coordinates that you enter into the portals actually don't have anything to do with location in the Submachine, but rather where to put it in the Pattern. And the wisdom crystals contain the results of these tests.
The SubBots were created so that no people could come in and mess with the results of the tests. The core was made so that they could surveil the status of the processes. The reason the garden supposedly looked like the structure of the subnet was because it was a scale model of it. In sub8, when there's a note about light bending strangely, that's because the beam was shined into a part of the machine where it was changing the structure. When Mur entered and began to make karma portals, rather than messing up the results, he changed the entire Pattern itself.
This is the least likely part of my theory is that in sub10 (The Exit), the Player will accidentally ruin all the results, so the Pattern will never be discovered.
