There have been many questions regarding the Matrix did some research on this and this is what I have got.
**************
"Nothing in the movies is coincidental. The keymaker explains that they
have exactly 314 seconds to do what they have to do; there has got to be
some meaty explanation as to where 314 comes from.
Matrix Essays links to Killing the Buddha which has an article entitled
Gnosis Reloaded, which offers this interesting tidbit: The crew at one point
is given 314 seconds to complete a task, which could have several
interpretations: In gematria, the study of numbers used by the Gnostics but
most often by the Jewish mystics, 314 is the numerical equivalent of the
name of God (Shaddai). Another possibility is that it refers to a passage in
the book of Revelations in which the beginning and end of creation are
described.
certainly interesting... I also find it somewhat interesting that 314
seconds is exactly 5:14, and the movie first publicly screened on 5/14/03.
Yes, the premier was 5/15, but around here (In NY), it was available in most
theaters on the night of the 14th. Probably insignificant, but interesting
nonetheless.
The numerology slant draws some interesting comparisons to another one of my
favorite movies, Pi. Actually, there are a whole lot of visual, thematic,
cinematic, and theological parallels between Pi and the Matrix movies; One
day (hopefully soon), when I have tons of time on my hands, I'll devote a
couple posts to comparing and contrasting the two, maybe with some screen
shots. "
"There's more. Although i am ashamed to say that i did not notice
this....there are biblical allusions (verses) for each license plate of hero
and villain, for those of you who havent already seen it:

Demeter, who was abducted by Hades and taken to the Underworld. Her mother
was so distraught at losing her daughter, that she punished mankind with
cold winds and dark winter. She threatened to destroy the Earth if her
daughter was not returned. Eventually, they came to a compromise (there's
another character involved here who I can't recall), so that Persephone
could spend half the year with her mother, and half with Hades in the
Underworld. While she is in the Underworld, Demeter inflicts cold and
darkness on the earth, and when Persephone returns, sunshine and warmth
return to the earth. Thus the ancient Greeks explain the seasons."
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,all your land. And they shall besiege you
in all your towns throughout all your land, which the LORD your God has
given you.

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:

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

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 thinally choose the other door.

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"t 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.

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
limitatio
other programs' abilities and thus inherited some of Neo's.

unable to
be

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 tn of computers, this is the mathematical imprecision inherent

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 trhological'
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".

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.

"Nothing in the movies is coincidental. The keymaker explains that they
have exactly 314 seconds to do what they have to do; there has got to be
some meaty explanation as to where 314 comes from.
Matrix Essays links to Killing the Buddha which has an article entitled
Gnosis Reloaded, which offers this interesting tidbit: The crew at one point
is given 314 seconds to complete a task, which could have several
interpretations: In gematria, the study of numbers used by the Gnostics but
most often by the Jewish mystics, 314 is the numerical equivalent of the
name of God (Shaddai). Another possibility is that it refers to a passage in
the book of Revelations in which the beginning and end of creation are
described.
certainly interesting... I also find it somewhat interesting that 314
seconds is exactly 5:14, and the movie first publicly screened on 5/14/03.
Yes, the premier was 5/15, but around here (In NY), it was available in most
theaters on the night of the 14th. Probably insignificant, but interesting
nonetheless.
The numerology slant draws some interesting comparisons to another one of my
favorite movies, Pi. Actually, there are a whole lot of visual, thematic,
cinematic, and theological parallels between Pi and the Matrix movies; One
day (hopefully soon), when I have tons of time on my hands, I'll devote a
couple posts to comparing and contrasting the two, maybe with some screen
shots. "

could spend half the year with her mother, and half with Hades in the
Underworld. While she is in the Underworld, Demeter inflicts cold and
darkness on the earth, and when Persephone returns, sunshine and warmth
return to the earth. Thus the ancient Greeks explain the seasons."
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,all your land. And they shall besiege you
in all your towns throughout all your land, which the LORD your God has

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:
1. All the previous On creating the next version of the Matrix, but Zion must be

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

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 thinally choose the other door.

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"t 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.

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
limitatio
other programs' abilities and thus inherited some of Neo's.

unable to
be

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 tn of computers, this is the mathematical imprecision inherent

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 trhological'
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

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.
