Hidden puzzles with no purpose?

[OhMyGodIt'sEverywhere]

I was messing around in the area where you're supposed to save miranda: the Egyptian simulation and got outside of the main path, where I found a bunch of chambers of fans, deflectors, lasters, etc. I used the box you need to hop a small fence to get myself on top of some walls and pillars to escape.

I solved some of them, they seemed really simple. But after I solved them they didn't seem to lead to anything. No progress wheels, no tetrominoes, no new paths. Just odd dead ends.

I might not go back to it for a while. That area takes a long time to get to (Have to solve all of the golden gate puzzles, talk to Cornelius at the megastructure, etc.) and I can't go back in my current save because once you talk to Miranda it kicks you out of the simulation forever.

Has any one found if solving these leads to anything, or are they just for show?
