In the long run, the goal was for SAM to find a way to cure Ellen (hence the cryo), but that end goal doesn't preclude other uses for SAM, which Alec clearly implemented. I don't think we have enough pieces of the puzzle to say with any certainty what Alec's full intentions for SAM were, but I think it's safe to say it was more than just saving Ellen once she was in cryo. Alec would have used SAM for other advanced purposes to ensure his Pathfinder team could find, secure and help grow a world for his kids and Ellen. While at the same time, Alec's SAM could grow in ways the other SAM nodes could not (with the hope of one day figuring out how to cure Ellen).
So, I agree that the end goal is Ellen. But I believe Alec developed his SAM for other purposes as well that go beyond Ellen. The Profiles and surprised Pathfinder team are just an example. I think a lot more will be revealed in the future.
Potentially any additions to SAM still could be centered around the same goal. As you said, lack of information BUT., the more knowledge and functions SAM has the more chnaces there is of eventually reaching the end goal of a cure - but that could also be extended to a newer goal of keeping his kids safe. (And in turn, humanity).

NO! Think happy thoughts! Lol
But I think some of us are getting to caught up in the title "Pathfinder" which is why I said that they were just people with a connection to a S.A.M.
When you look at it that way, a person connected to a S.A.M. can serve any purpose as needed. Sure the Pathfinders were meant to function outside of anyone's authority (something Tann doesn't seem to understand) but you could just have a S.A.M. user that isn't a Pathfinder whose goal was to ensure the Pathfinders would have their starting point at the best it could be in the form of the Nexus.
That person, whatever title you decide to give them, can still fall under the authority of the others.
But that's just my opinion.
