I'm also confused because supposedly they are working with an "open system". What does that mean? Because I thought that would mean that they have access to all the information the Machine has to determine where the threat is coming from and who it is targeting. Apparently not because they spent most of the episode making wild incorrect guesses about who the target is and why. What does the "open system" mean, then?

I don't think they've ever been totally explicit about it, but my impression is that it means full access: not just communicating like they have been this season, or getting operational information and targets like Root used to, but being able to make decisions about the Machine's priorities and how it should achieve them.
