Course of the lines

I wish that the course of the lines would not run across the boxes and also not start from the center of the box. I would like some advice?

Changing to splines=true will stop the edges from being routed across the node faces. The (side-effect) result is that the edges are now splines, not straight lines, sorry.
Adding these lines will help somewhat

  ranksep=3.5  // inches  
  nodesep=.7   // inches

If you want the Gate nodes (and the Unknown nodes) to be displayed in some numeric order, we can help with that (but, you will still need splines=true)

It still looks a bit confusing and also the tracking of the lines are a bit more difficult, but I can go on with that. Many thanks.

You might try coloring the edges to help visually separate them. This might help colorscheme | Graphviz
