HAL and S.A.M.M.E. are both representing opposing (I view HAL as Tesla and S.A.M.M.E. as Edison) sides of technology, while Rasputin is representing magic. Which is why they symbolize the fact that, despite whatever happens, technology and magic cannot co-exist without conflict.
Or, they symbolize that two AI and a magic serpent are going to wreck the school. Not sure yet...
S.A.M.M.E. would be Tesla.
HAL came first.
And then he came first.
