Motivated by the prospect of attaining Majorana modes at the ends of nanowires, we analyze interacting Majorana systems on general networks and lattices in an arbitrary number of dimensions, and derive various universal spin duals. Such general complex Majorana architectures (other than those of simple square or other crystalline arrangements) might be of empirical relevance. As these systems display low-dimensional symmetries, they are candidates for realizing topological quantum order. We prove that (a) these Majorana systems, (b) quantum Ising gauge theories, and (c) transverse-field Ising models with annealed bimodal disorder are all dual to one another on general graphs. As any Dirac fermion (including electronic) operator can be expressed as a linear combination of two Majorana fermion operators, our results further lead to dualities between interacting Dirac fermionic systems. The spin duals allow us to predict the feasibility of various standard transitions as well as spin-glass type behavior in {\it interacting} Majorana fermion or electronic systems. Several new systems that can be simulated by arrays of Majorana wires are further introduced and investigated: (1) the {\it XXZ honeycomb compass} model (intermediate between the classical Ising model on the honeycomb lattice and Kitaev's honeycomb model), (2) a checkerboard lattice realization of the model of Xu and Moore for superconducting $(p+ip)$ arrays, and a (3) compass type two-flavor Hubbard model with both pairing and hopping terms. By the use of dualities, we show that all of these systems lie in the 3D Ising universality class. We discuss how the existence of topological orders and bounds on autocorrelation times can be inferred by the use of symmetries and also propose to engineer {\it quantum simulators} out of these Majorana networks.
