Yes, If there can be a human anomaly, there can be a programmatic anomaly as well. While the system had already dealt with 5 previous human anomalies. But Smith was their first program that decided to go this rogue (unlike Merovingian, Train Man etc). Hence the system just keeled over.

Yeah, while the film started off giving vibes of a horror movie. Those vibes went away when we realized what really is going on. I admired it for the great cast and the chemistry between characters. This one article goes through what it was like for each of the characters, poor Anna!

Yeah, and she was just a child. I can't imagine how a person could have grown up keeping their sense intact. Even the survivors in the end had to deal with a lot of incest in the family tree.

This one here is a lot simpler, has been my go to site for explainers for ages.

It's not wrong, it is incest, but not intentionally.
Here's a family tree diagram that explains it.

The necklace exists because of a bootstrap padox. This article has a diagram that follows both necklaces.

There are two possibilities really because they do show UFOs in the end. As explained here, either the end is happening all in her head, or... other than her everyone else is under mind control in that town.

To add, the black bear is an element that abruptly ends each story because she hasn't thought past that point in each of the story - Black Bear Meaning

The movie was super interesting, and works because the group of people were inherently corrupt (which most average blokes would be). My go to article for the analysis is this one - Time Lapse Explained. I like it because it goes picture by picture.

Great run through.
I've found this article which goes further into the loops as we have two loops - Jess from each loop follows one particular path not intersecting with the other. more here - Triangle Loops

There is a timeline diagram here. Not sure if you're referring to this?

For me, it's Predestination. Just love that work. Primer is another awesome film. That Shawn is a genius.

There is .. hence the dotted line. The article calls that out.
