   • Amnesia Machine For Pigs - Explanation + T...  
The details explained here are set in their chronological order, following the dates provided by the different journals notes.
November 1898:
Mandus is a local butcher. His wife died from child-labor complications years before, something he holds deep regret over.
He invests all his money into buying a meat factory, but because the technology he was using wasn't understood well by the general populace, the banks refuse him credit. He gets into debt, and expects lawyers to knock on his door at any time.
He views his machine as a work-in-progress: "What are these two arms compared to the multitude that can be applied, without pay, without tire, by adapting the mechanisms we find in the looms and the mills?" At this point, he has no evil intentions.

February 1899:

Money seems to flow again, and things started getting better for Mandus. He travels to Mexico with his children and visits the Aztec ruins.

Once there, he becomes fascinated by the human sacrifice rituals performed during the Aztec era.

March 1899:

Mandus is now back in London, but sick. He probably caught a tropical disease during his previous travels. He has servants at this point, a sign that he is financially well-off.

He dreams of a 'great machine'. He kills all his servants and buries their cadavers under flowers in his garden. He states that he wanted to "re-craft them".

Obviously, Mandus is under the influence of an orb he got from his travel in Mexico. He wrote: "I can only hear the voice from within that gentlest of stones (...) then we came to London and I set it upon the mantelpiece." (creds. Centuryon).

The Amnesia Wiki (http://amnesia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Orbs) states:

"Mandus recovered an orb from a ruined Aztec temple in Mexico. He was uninitiated and the orb fractured, and shattered into two. Consequently, this was so powerful it also split Mandus' own soul into two as well. The two orb halves bled so madness they revealed unto him all the horrors of the wars and genocides to come in the 20th Century. He went insane and murdered his own children rather than endure them living in such dark evil times. Mourning, he took the two orb shards back to England to use them to power The Machine and remake the world." (This statement however contradicts the alleged date of death of the children, which is supposed to happen after October)

The Orb is actually set up inside the machine, and it is possible that the orb had its own purposes, and was actually trying to establish its power in the real world (this dimension). The ultimate goal being to wipe all mankind from the surface of Earth (as stated from audio notes).

April 1899:

Mandus receives a crate from his uncle. It was a heavily deformed human body (probably a "grunt" from TDD, creds. Misterbombi) . It seems to have been affected by the power of the Orb and even by the ethereal shape of his uncle (the character from The Dark Descent); "I smell the Orb upon him, and suspect my great uncle's presence in his curious condition".

After studying the body, he discovered it could be used to manipulate biological processes in humans. However, he decides to use pigs as experimental subjects instead: "Men are difficult to control and rotten with sentimentality. No, we require a new creature for our chattels: loyal, clever, strong, easily sated".

May 1899:

The pigs used for the experiments seem to have evolved into intelligent creatures. Mandus thinks about providing them a god in order to form some sort of religion: "They will happily accept fealty to a God thrust upon them, and worship it thus given. In this, I realize, they are no different to the masses. They are much the same as us."

June 1899:

Mandus is sick from his travels to Mexico, possibly from a tropical disease. He's weakened, has strong fevers and nightmares, but is very determined to work on his machine. He seems to start acting psychotic towards his children: "I hear my children playing in the attic but it fills me with terror, not love. What desperate thoughts are these?".

July 1899:

Mandus continues his research and begins working on a mysterious compound, "of one part Brennenburn Infusion Vitae to one part Orgone Monad Dispersal". It seems that the compound is able to reanimate dead bodies.
