I think that the "core" of the Submachine is actually Earth. It makes sense because that is the core of where Mur started his portals. A lot of letters in Sub7 lead me to believe this, because Liz warns Mur that if he takes the portal, he may never get back to the "core" or Earth. Liz also says that everyone was already living in the subnet. The reason the places in Sub7 don't look like Earth is because, like Liz said about the small portals, it ruins the fabric of dimensions.

This is how I think it works. The subnet is the macro-verse and it is recollecting over time. Once it has (again?) collected everything in all universes it will go BIG BANG on us. That's why there's so little known about the big bang.

Guys I think that new portal that arrives in the end of sub 6 could be the old rusty teleporter from the beginning.

Then my theory is that someone took the old one and put it in this Egyptian room where you can manipulate the time.

And so the rusty teleporter becomes new.

I'm here to explain the origins of the Submachine. Let's say the Universe where Earth exists is a dimension. The universe where The Submachine was created is another dimension. Let's call that dimension Omniverse. The Omniverse was populated by beings much superior in terms of intelligence and mind control than us. They had the power to manipulate the web of space and time. Then they discovered that their power was too strong and it couldn't be used freely in their dimension because it could destroy it. It had to be contained. Then the submachine came into existence. A closed room with Artificial Intelligence that could contain their powers and could allow them to conduct their experiments freely. By that time it was only a room. That room was indestructible. But a disaster happened:

An evil being of their kind used its powers outside the Submachine and created a black hole with half the size of the Omniverse. Then the black hole destroyed everything in its way and eventually it collapsed under its own gravity, taking the Omniverse with it. But because the Submachine was indestructible, it was the only piece of space and time left in the Omniverse. Realizing that there were other dimensions, the Submachine created a wormhole and traveled to the Universe, eventually crashing on Earth in the beginning of its formation. Millions of years later, when the Earth was formed and the human race had come into existence, a team of 4 men was exploring the Krubera-Voronja Cave, the deepest cave in the world, and they realized something was buried in a small lake situated in a room of the cave. They unburied it, and by curiosity they pressed a switch in the Submachine. It was a switch created by the Omniverse beings and to be used only by them to expand the Submachine in case they wanted to. But the Submachine, seeing that it was in the presence of inferior beings decided to expand to the infinity. And it started to expand til the destruction of the Earth, but while it expanded it took some humans with it. And the Submachine educated them, giving them knowledge, but with other purposes. In fact, the Submachine wanted to kill them and take them to the core so it could feed it, because the Submachine discovered the humans give power to it. Now the only way to stop the Submachine is to destroy the core. And the only way to escape the Submachine and leave peacefully on Earth again is making an Omniverse being inside the first room of the Submachine so it can create a new Earth for the humans inside the Submachine.

A group of Soviet scientists are working in an underground bunker. Their mission was to get as much data as possible from captured secret agent from the West. They were given a subject: An enemy agent captured but driven insane by torture. After several years, they managed to get the subject to regain sanity using a top-secret program called the Future Loop Foundation,but she refused to cooperate. She no longer remembers her name, but was referred to as Sunshine Bunnygirl [no.17].

The scientists then target a Polish scientist who studied ancient scripts and perfected the art of inducing amnesia. They lured him near their outpost in Kent. However, there was and accident, and he lost his arm and got knocked into a coma. The group of scientist tried to revive hem but failed. Then they used him for the FLF program. He didn't wake up, but the scientists discovered unusual brain activity. The Polish scientist could wake up at any moment, but he didn't. It turned out that after he went through the FLF,the Polish scientist got split into two,i.e. developed schizophrenia.

There was the 'AI' half,which created an extremely complex hallucination based on memories, thoughts and ideas. The scientist imagination imagined an endless and spaceless area called the Loop, and also recreated places from memory, but distorting them like a lighthouse, the Versailles, and the temple where he found the ancient scripts. The 'AI's imagination went on to create the basement, the lab,and the lighthouse digouts, as well as distorting physics within the hallucination to create wisdom gems.

There was also a 'Murtaugh' half, whose name was derived from a childhood nickname. The Mur half had the personality of the original scientist, but not the memories. He could only remember the name he now called himself, and the fact that there was something more than the complex hallucination he called the Subnet. He spent much of his time exploring the subnet. But realized the only way out would be through another person.He found a group of people working in the lab,hoping to get out, but then realized these people were created by the AIs imagination, along with Liz.

The soviet scientist had no way of knowing what was happening within the Polish scientists mind.They decided to transfer the consciousness of Sunshine Bunnygirl into his mind. When Mur figured out that Sunshine's mind wasn't made by the AI he had the chance of waking up. Asking her to go to the loop.He hoped she would find a way out. He had already sent 4 teams of AI-created people to find a way out, but they failed. By now, the USSR was beginning to disintegrate. In an act of desperation, one Soviet scientist decided to transfer his consciousness into the Polish.He went through the FLF and into the mind.When he got in,he couldn't remember anything but solved the puzzles of the basement and lighthouse.

After arriving at the abandoned lab, Mur learned of the Soviet scientist existence and the fact that he is not a creation of the AI. To make sure he didn't die, the scientist was tested. After passing the tests, Mur made him a member of the lab. Murtaugh's new mission was to disable the defense systems guarding a cache of memories of the Versailles. From there,he would use his karma arm to propel him closer to regaining consciousness and killing 'they' (Ideas created by AI to kill him as the AI wants to eliminate any being which distorts the subnet further.

Ideas have already abandoned the area closest to the logic center of the mind, called the Outer Rim.) and finally regain consciousness. So Mur asked the soviet scientist to get to the Edge of imagination, disable the DS,and then ditch him and gather the remaining ideas(AI-people)and invade the core.

The AI now begins to develop a second personality, and if it does so before Mur can wake up,the new personality will control the Polish scientist's body. Final note,the soviet scientist is you.[SNEE is based on the travels of a random AI-person]
