The correct door in the Architect's room
Now there are two possibilities here:
1. 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.
2. 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 protect 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 5, 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 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.
I co ? Zaskoczeni? Bo ja tak!
W skrócie (dla nieznających totalnie angielskiego ):
Zion jest drugim matrixem.
Neo może okazać się programem komputerowym!
Trinity i Morpheusz również są programami.
Agent Smith może okazać się człowiekiem! (to mnie najbardziej rozbroiło)
