The wisdom gems found in many of the games actually store data.

The submachine is actually built to lead to the afterlife.

Murtaugh is defending the submachine by controlling its defense systems.

The submachine is of either a man made or a semi-man made nature, which means if we were the ones to have done this and play god making a type of universe, then it might have existed before hand as well, meaning we have only dusted off pandora's box from the last time it was used.

The gems are the core component of the subnet, it holds knowledge, power, and can last longer then time itself (if time even exists within the subnet) which means there has been gems before us as well as ones that could have been made by current explorers.

The concept is if these gems hold the key power to so much, then collecting them all and placing them somewhere they all need to be will complete what was damaged, and we will either see the full subnet and not the fragmented one as we see it now, and possibly a way home.

Also note, every time we take a gem away from where it was last kept, when we return to that place its changed as if the gem represented the area's stability and existence and without it the area might fall apart. Also saying as well as to where ever the hub for the gems to be put in are at might as well have some gems currently in place which is why we only see a fragmented subnet.

In other words, the gems hold the subnet in place, if there is a hub or core to the subnet, then all the gems we can find would be placed there, doing so restoring more of the subnet that was lost, and finally seeing what the subnet was truly, and possibly a way back if that was our intention to leave that is...
Defense System Theory

The edge would be as if it was the edge of the universe, or better yet the edge of nothing to exist after. As for the defenses, they could work as the ultimate defense that can work in this existence, and that is a reset portal. Kinda like a way that you will get transported to either the beginning of the game again, a room that will be almost impossible to figure out how to get out, or in some worse case scenarios a infinite loop looking for a way out or clues or just trapped in a actual void beyond the existence of the subnet....

Submachine is a quantum computer. A computer that with enough power can alter the laws of physics, only by mistake though making the subnet is either composed of random data and or actual locations scattered though and dubbed the subnet. The subnet being created by mistake either by Mur or another third party is unknown, but it was made to exist. Data scattered out and means of power are from the oldest to the newest of technology, with the creation of the subnet also came with the allowance of passing though and going beyond physics including space and time travel, infinite space, and so much more.

The Subnet is the center of all existence, crossing and bleeding into every known and unknown dimension, universe, timeline, and more. The origin of the subnet might have existed before from another race from another realm of reality as a way to be safe. Since every universe and existence works as a life we can only expect that with everything else it can eventually die. The subnet was made as a way to cross from one reality to another to escape the collapse of the universes. Unfortunately as this idea proved also harmful to the fabric of causality itself it was locked away and buried to never resurface again. That is until we as humans tried doing something similar and out of either an elaborate mistake or by some sort of variable found the subnet. Finding this they thought why not try to explore it and make it ours? Taking things found and reverse engineering them in a way that make it possible for humans to use. This caused problems yet to be unseen to the humans as it starts to once again bleed into every timeline and universe. When the presence of life was known the Defenses were activated and caused the disappearance of every explorer either displacing them into a pocket of non existence, the loop or simply erasing them from time itself. The subnet has the ability to alter time itself in order to repair itself and to trap any entity from causing what I can only guess is a way to cross over into another universe, the central controls, or the very foundation of the subnet itself.

But saying all of this still does not go into the existence of wisdom gems, the subbots, Mur, and more. Well let me explain each.

The Wisdom gem is a storage device capable of storing an undisclosed and possibly an infinite amount of data as well from what I can understand is a form of energy. Its possible that these gems are made from a larger gem that might reside in the foundation of the subnet. These gems could be a product of electron formation in a solid state allowing both storage of data on a quantum computer level and energy that could be compared to a 100 suns. Almost like a nuclear battery but more stable and useful. Also they could be made from the remains of collapsed universes, all the energy that would be in a collapsed universe and refined in a gem could be immensely powerful and perhaps its how the subnet itself stands on its own without collapsing which at first you might think its bad it in a way its like recycling. Using the remains of a dead universe as a form of a data and energy. This could be almost infinite energy and storage at the fingertips. But also it can be used as a form of repairing device that is capable of fixing and even changing the form of each space of the subnet. The possibilities of usage of the wisdom gems are limitless at this time. But as stated there could be a core where these gems are carved from, this is probably the foundation of the subnet and if it was ever destroyed it could collapse the entire subnet itself. This to some could be a good idea if it is bleeding into other worlds but this can be proven also a very bad thing to do as well, that will be explained later in this.

The Subbots are a form of repair, now its possible that they could have been made by man, perhaps the original creators of the subnet, OR BOTH! But how? Simple really if you think about it, the subnet was possibly made before humans discovered it. Even so humans made it theirs to do as they will, that saying humans could have made some sort of robots capable of research of the subnet but also there could have been original subbots as well that at one time existed to maintain the subnet as well as a factory. Whether the explorers found said factory and the sketches were just a description of the progress of old subbots before the production of new ones when the factory became active once more whether it be from human design or the design of updated presence of a hivebrain AI in control of the subnet. Also it is possible that subbots made my humans were captured and reprogrammed into becoming workers on the subnet. Any of which is a strong possibility but what we do know is that if a mechanical presence is in the subnet it probably has been there before humans knew about it. As well as a possibility of a AI made for these subbots as well as a networked security for the defense grid and more.

And now we have Mur, which at this point we can confirm is only after one goal and that is to get to the bottom of what the subnet could be hiding, whether it be the foundation of the net or the controls. We are not clear if he is a residual AI that was made by either the real Mur or the organization that we have heard vaguely. We know at one point Mur did exist since he is known to have pages describing his time at Kent and his Karma arm so we cannot say he never existed as a human. But as this is said we cannot be sure that he was a human from our universe. It is possible that the organization had some sort of knowledge of the subnet interacting with other universes and it is possible that the organization was formed in other universes as well using the subnet as a way to communicate with each other. Mur might have been the key used to get in deeper into the subnet but wouldn't you figure it something happened that could have made Mur either go rouge from the plan and is out to destroy the subnet, or perhaps he is just trying to complete his duty that he was assigned from the organization. We are not too sure on the absolute motive but we know that it is not good.

Now we get to the construction of the subnet. This is interesting to say the least. The subnet exists as a hybrid of Hyper Reality bleeding in with reality itself. This means that things that could exist might not exist how we see it. That some of the random locations of the subnet might not exist as actual locations but were made to how we can see them. This might have been done as a byproduct of the Wisdom Gem, since it can store an immense amount of data that means it can also store and recreate areas with just the power the subnet has, it could also be a fragment of what remained as a memory of a space in the universe that was destroyed and the wisdom gem is just merely emulating it. But no matter how real it might seem it is just how we perceive it. That means some locations are just staged and may not have a real connection to it anymore. This can be proven as a best example in the SNEE at locations 103 and 673. This all means that the subnet can emulate and change things that can be real just like how a computer can show and change an image. You may think that this could contradict on how the subnet is bleeding into all universes but this is not true. As how some parts are emulated to look real some are actually real and still show a residual capture of how they were once part of other universes and still are.

Finally we are down to if the subnet should be destroyed or allowed to stay existent. The answer to this is to allow it to exist, but to shut it down rather than let it be active. If the original creators (that is if they ever existed in the first place) knew that this was bad and shut it down then it was for good reason. As to now it is to shut it down. If we allow it to be active it will engulf entire universes and continue to expand as it continues to bleed into time and space itself. If we destroy it though it might be even worse, and I am sure if the original creators existed they knew this as a bad thing to do as well. This is because the subnet is at the center of everything, going all out in every direction the subnet stands at the exact center. This means that the subnet is the very foundation of existence itself and by destroying it we risk destroying ALL OF EXISTENCE along with it.

The worst case scenario is that if the subnet could not be shut down since its operation has gone beyond any known control destroying the subnet might be the only foreseeable way to stop its invasion in other universes in the eyes of humans, or in the eyes of Mur at least.
