Got this from a co-worker, found it interestingly enough to post it here to remember.
The Matrix Reloaded ___ Explained___
By Jason Payne and Navid Agreeing
Zion is a program, just like the Matrix. How is Neo able to figure out
that he is able to stop the sentinels in Zion near the end of the film?
The spoon given to him earlier. It had obviously been bent loads, but
how outside the Matrix?? This gave Neo the inspiration and the
understanding that Zion is still a matrix.
The One explained:
"The One" is a program, but has to be "attached" to someone in the
Matrix. So Mr. Anderson got it in the 6th version of the Matrix. Then
"The One" program's purpose is to allow Zion to be destroyed then to
rebuild it. The reason for this is because of anomalies - the 1% of
humans that don't accept the Matrix. These are all brought out of the
Matrix program and into the
Zion program by the "Morpheus" program and other similar "ship captain"
programs. Then once all the anomalies are out of the Matrix (and in
Zion), that is the time for Zion to be destroyed, thus killing all the
anomalies off. The Matrix is then upgraded, thus creating the next
version of the Matrix, but Zion must be rebuilt so that the next lot of
anomalies can be brought out again so that they can be destroyed. This
is the feedback-loop, and is the reason to retain a handful of people so
that Zion can be rebuilt. So this is why Neo said the prophecy was a lie
- the One's purpose was not to end the war as the prophecy stated.
Unfortunately, "The One" program must be re-used each time, or copied,
so it can be "attached" to a new anomaly inside the Matrix. So what
happens to the old "The One" program? It faces deletion, and as the
Oracle explained, it goes into exile instead, just like the French bloke
(the Merovingian) did. He was the first One (probably from the second
version of the Matrix), and once he fulfilled his duty, he became an
exile program and "abdicated" his "Oneness" by choosing Persephone and
power. This is evident in the bogs when Persephone asks Neo to kiss her.
She says she wants him to kiss her so she can feel what it is like again
to be kissed by something close to human,
just like the Merovingian used to be. Then she says to Trinity that she
envies her, but that these things are not meant to last. So the
Merovingian used to be just like Neo - a One - thus proving further the
feedback-loop explained earlier.
The correct door in the Architect's room:
Now there are two possibilities here:
All the previous One's chose the right door allowing a ___temporary
dissemination___ of their code into the Matrix (i.e., the code they
___carry___ thus indicating Neo is indeed human), then he must select
(unplug) 23 people from the Matrix to rebuild Zion. This takes away the
possibility that stories from previous rebuilds of Zion will be carried
through. But Morpheus indicated in the first Matrix that this is the
case anyway. He said, ___there was a man born inside, able to change
things, it was he who freed the first of us,___ - basically the One
previous to Neo. And this proves that the previous One chose the right
door also. Neo's purpose is also to choose the right door, but he does
not because he faces deletion afterwards and has the choice of going
into exile - programs choosing to go into exile is the one thing that
can't be accounted for in program parameters. Thus, he chooses the left
door instead this time. How was Neo able to choose the other door?
Because of his extreme willpower?
-
Even the Architect indicated that he'd noticed this ___ ___Interesting.
That was quicker than the others.___ Or more likely, because the Oracle
upgraded his coding with the candy on the park bench. The candy/cookie
was a method to change the One's program. She said he has made a
believer out of her
-
this is quite human-like and perhaps the previous One's didn't accept
the upgrade candy, now she has hope... hope that Neo will finally choose
the
other door.
All the previous One's chose the left door, saving Trinity and letting
Zion fall. So this time is no different. But the Architect does say,
___You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed. Its every living
inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated,___ and also,
___this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become
exceedingly efficient at it,___ - assuming the Architect isn't lying,
then they have
already destroyed Zion (i.e., Zion has fallen) five times - i.e., the
result of going through the left door.
Morpheus and Trinity are programs. Morpheus's purpose was to find the
One and deliver him to the Architect. Trinity's purpose is to control
the One by getting in love with him. Trinity is supposed to be the
mother of the new One every time the Matrix is Reloaded. That's why the
sex scene was so important and why she was named Trinity.
The Architect says, ___she is going to die, and there is nothing that
you can do to stop it.___ He was correct though because she did die just
like Neo did in the first Matrix (Oracle said he or Morpheus would, and
she didn't lie, but he came back to life). Trinity dies, but comes back
to life (we are using medical definition of death in all this of
course!).
The Architect has already laid down an ultimatum for Neo choosing the
left
door:
The Architect ___ ___Failure to comply with this process will result in
a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix,
which
coupled with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the
extinction of the entire human race.___
Neo ___ ___You won't let it happen, you can't. You need human beings to
survive.___
The Architect - ___There are levels of survival we are prepared to
accept. However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to
accept the responsibility for the death of every human being in this
world.___
Looking at this further, the Architect does say ___coupled___ with the
extermination of Zion will the human race be exterminated. So he says
everyone connected to the Matrix will die, but if Zion is not
exterminated, the human race will not necessarily die. Also, there is
likely to be a time-window between not going through the right door, and
the cataclysmic crash, thus allowing Neo to unplug as many as possible
from the Matrix, then those people won't die. This will be the start of
the next Zion. As for the Matrix, a cataclysmic crash doesn't mean the
end of the Matrix - just needs rebooting or reloading!
Agent Smith explained:
Agent Smith is the only ___human___ in this world. He's the one
spreading himself like a virus replicating himself over and over until
the Matrix will finally get overloaded and fail. Smith is the one who
wants to get out of the Matrix for good. He said so in the first Matrix,
___I must get out of here, I must get free! And in this mind, is the
key,___ squeezing Morpheus's temples, ___my key! Once Zion is destroyed,
there is no need for me to be here!___ Smith knows that by killing Neo
he can escape the Matrix because Neo is the key to resetting the Matrix,
or to shut it off. It was originally killing Neo (in the first Matrix)
that allowed Smith to become powerful (cloning
ability) - so killing Neo again will allow him to gain Neo's powers
completely, and thus gain the power to shut down the Matrix. So where
the hell did Smith come from if he wants to destroy the Matrix?
He's obviously not meant to be there - he's a computer virus as he has
every characteristic of a virus - he multiplies and spreads and infects
(and
emulates) other programs like one. He is exactly as he described humans
at the end of the first Matrix ___ ___You move to an area and you
multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the
only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another
organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what
it is? A virus.___ But who put him there? This will only be revealed in
Revolutions
(Revelations?) I guess - but I'm betting on humans in the real real
world, i.e., outside of Zion and the Matrix. They're at war with the
machines and trying to destroy them by infecting them with this virus -
Agent Smith. So the irony with this theory is that Agent Smith
represents the human race!! Neo represents the machines! Agent Smith
says to Neo just after he's seen the Oracle that he became free when Neo
destroyed him in the first Matrix (remember when Neo entered his body
and exploded him from inside out) ___ as a virus, Smith has the ability
to ___inherit___ other programs___ abilities and thus inherited some of
Neo___s.
The anomaly explained:
The anomaly is all the humans that do not accept the Matrix. The
Architect says ___Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced
equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the
eventuality of an
anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to
eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision.
While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected,
and thus not beyond a measure of control.___ This includes Neo, but
Neo's Matrix avatar is attached with the One program so that he can
follow his purpose as explained earlier under ___The One explained___.
However, he is also supposed to prote ct himself and destroy anything
that gets in his way - i.e., Agent Smith
-
so that he may fulfil his purpose.
Further proving Neo - and other non-accepters of the Matrix - are the
anomaly, the Architect says, ___Your life is the sum of a remainder of
an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix.___ The
clue here is Neo's program name ___ ___The One___. Take one-third for
example. 1 over 3 is 0.33333 recurring. A computer cannot deal with
recurring numbers, so must accept a limit, let's say 0.33333 for
argument's sake. Multiply by 3, you get 0.99999 - never 1.00000, where
has the ___remainder___ 0.00001
(One) gone? This is the limitation of computers, this is the
mathematical imprecision inherent in programming (of the Matrix) and the
eventuality of the One anomaly unable to be eliminated.
What is the equation then?
Not sure, but it definitely involves pi. The Keymaker refers to the
window of time to open the door to the mainframe as 314 seconds. 3.14 is
pi to three sig. figs., or the number of radians in half a circle. Half
a circle is like the cross-section of a womb, similar to the alcove of
Neo and Trinity's love scene - conceiving the next One? "NEO",
incidently, is an
anagram of "ONE". Trinity and Neo - one on one; a choice - one or one.
Leads us to 101. "101" is mentioned numerous times in Matrix 1 and
Reloaded. Neo's room at the beginning, Merovingian is on the 101st
floor, the 101 freeway of the car chase in Reloaded, then when Trinity
is hacking into the power plant system, she resets the password to
Z10N0101. Freaky. Indicates that she is a program because that's not
some random password she's put in. 101 is binary for 6 , which in
zero-based binary counting: 000 is 1, 001, is 2, 010 is 3, 011 is 4, 100
is 5, 101 is 6 - And this is the 6th version of the Matrix! Then there's
303. 303 is the room Neo got shot in Matrix 1, the Oracle lives in room
303, it's also the hotel room number Trinity is in in Matrix 1 and it's
seen at the end when Neo fights the Agents and Smith and begins to
literally see the code that makes up the Matrix. 101 x 3 = 303, a
trilogy, 3
+ 0 + 3 = 6 = the 6th Matrix. Trinity means 3.
Who is the "mother" that the Architect refers to?
The Architect says, ___Please,___ in an almost disapproving sense when
Neo suggests the Oracle, but does not reveal who it really is or even
directly that Neo is wrong. The architect was the one who created the
Matrix; the
co-creator is neither Persephone nor the Oracle. Both of them are only
programs that have a purpose in the matrix, just like the rest. The
Architect is in charge of the Matrix world and the co-creator is in
charge of Zion. She has almost the same age as the Architect. Therefore,
that woman is the Head Counsellor, the only woman of importance that
lives in Zion and the one who asked for the two captains to volunteer at
the council meeting. She's the one who knew all along about the Matrix.
She was the one who told Zion's Defence Minister to cool off and to let
Morpheus do his work so things could go as planned. Or alternatively, it
could indeed be the Oracle. She is the only program
that truly wants humans to have a free choice... at the same time, she
sees the future, because she knows the program code - she is like God -
which is why Seraph protects her - see ___Who is Seraph?___ below.
What's so special about Neo's avatar?
Neo is a skilled hacker, and his avatar in the Matrix is based on the
person that founded the AI of the original machines that eventually took
over the world... How? Take a look at the disc he gave to the bloke at
the door at the beginning of Matrix 1. It said ___DISC AI___ on it. The
hollowed book Neo takes the disc out of is ___Simulacra and
Simulation___ - a collection of essays by the French postmodernist
philosopher Jean Baudrillard. He opens it to the section ___on
Nihilism___ (meaning nothing is truly known, etc.). ___Baudrillard's
concept of simulation is the creation of the real through conceptual or
'mythological' models which have no connection or origin in reality. The
model becomes the determinant of our perception of reality--the real.___
And Morpheus says, "Welcome to the desert of the real," in Matrix 1. I'd
say this book describes The Matrix to a tee. So this disc contains the
key to the AI, and thus how to destroy the machines, so I think they'll
use this info in Revolutions to ultimately destroy the machines, which
means he'll have to go back to the nightclub and find the guy he gave it
to.
Who is Seraph?
The reason Seraph (the chink guy Neo meets before meeting the Oracle)
had golden code and was so spectacular is that he came from the first
incarnation of the matrix, which was heaven. ___Seraph___ is singular
for the plural ___seraphim___. The seraphim are the highest choir of
angels and included amongst others: Lucifer, Gabriele, Raziel and
Malaciah, and they sit on the 8th level of Heaven just one below God. So
Seraph will obviously have a big part in Revolutions, but whose side
will he be on - the machines or the humans?? That is the question.
The Twins
They are exiled programs that emulate the human myth of ghosts as the
Oracle explained. They are programs behaving badly. Persephone killed
one of the Merovingian___s bodyguards with a silver bullet because he
was emulating a werewolf. So if the Twins could phase into ghost form,
why didn't he when his arm was trapped in the door of the garage? Was it
because he was wounded or because he can't phase when his arm is
trapped? No of course not. The
doors of that building, when shut, always led somewhere else (usually in
the
mountains) when opened again without the Keymaker's key. So if it were
slammed shut due to the Twin phasing into ghost form, the Twin's arm
would've ended up god knows where, but certainly not attached to the
Twin's body.
--
The world of humanity has two wings -- one is woman and the other man.
Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly. Should one
wing remain weak, flight is impossible. Not until the world of woman
becomes equal to the world of man in the acquisition of virtues and
perfections, can success and prosperity be attained as they ought to be.
--Abdu'l-Baha
