The Matrix Reloaded Explained

This may seem long, buts its definitely interesting,
for those of u who like watching the matrix or for
those who thought that 'reloaded' was crap and had no story.......


Zion is a program, just like the Matrix. How is Neo
able to figure out that he is able to stop the tinels
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
nomalies - 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 filled
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 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 fficient 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
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 inthis 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,"
queezing. 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 *beep* 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.

Someone has WAY too much time on their hands

Taino

Interesting read. And makes a lot of sense.

Gandaar

Owwwwwwwwwwwwww.......my head hurts now.

Baltyn

Yes very interesting but why try to analyse the movie?

AngztGegner

You always analyze everything you see and then use it or throw it away.
Some people do it subconsciously, some active.

Whoever analyzed this felt that what is happening in the movie deserves to be analyzed or at least to be looked into a bit deeper for everyone to understand the true concept behind the Matrix.

Lleauric

Another possibilty is that everything in the movies is a lie.. one last great headtrip from the W brothers..

When the Machine city was nuked... a huge EMP blast knocked out the machines... Humanity won.. and enslaved the Machines...
Neo, Zion.... everything is a machine, enslaved and keeping humanity alive

Liper

someone forgot something important

Why do you think that? There is no indication such a thing occured that all realised what was going to happen and chose the right door that some might be saved, is the conclusion to be made, not that they saved trinity due to the fact that this is the only incarnation of the one where he developed a affinity for one person insteed of the matrix as a whole.

zarkarin

Thank you for this, quite an interesting read.

Kaziganthi

I thought that was pretty self explanatory. The reason he didn't phase was because he was holding the door open for his brother to come through. If he had let the door close, they would have lost the keymaker, seeing as when the door close, it closes the alternate destination that the different keys open up. Thats why he slammed it real quick before neo reached it. If you remember, because of that neo had a tough time getting back to the city
