no, it is beyond the matrix, beyond the desert of the real...those are just programs, running the way they are MEANT to run...the matrix itself does not tell them who they are, just like the real world doesn't tell them who they are...it is ABOVE them, another program, perhaps, or the real world, the ACTUAL real world, but they dont have choice...
when in zion they are free-er, but still improsioned by the machines...else they would be on the surface getting suntans! so it is not necessarily a MWAM...creation myths talk of tortoises on the back of tortoises ect holding up the world...so it is conceivable that thereis a level beyong zion...maybe beyond the machines...defined as GOD...like the end of the MIB, with the aliens playing marbles with the universe...have you not ever asked your self what is the universde contained in, if we are contained in the universe?
but wouldnt their primative minds eventually cotton on to the fact that real is not real but another level of simulation? And therefore would not the anomaly also appear outside the matrix level in response?
If they are still jacked in then is it possible that there is no such thing as machines because the whole body of knowledge of the powere plants, sentinels etc are just part of the next level simulation...it just keeps asking more questions...and the obvious one...Why? because the power scenario is just a simulation now!
that's how i been thinking. At lest you see why i say these things. Others keep thinking i change what i say. I may be wrong, but neo had the perfect life, and he rejected it. He was looking for a way out. so the matrix gave him a way out.
I may be wrong, but the battery idea don't hold water. As a huge human computer or a simulation program to see if we would except servitude maybe.
Why else woulfd neo be responsible for creating Zion. Why would the machines charge neo with creating Zion. the same reason the devil exist . Cause god give us a choice. Good or evil. how can you have that choice w/o both good and evil.
Seeds the next simulation...with every seeding they approach what? What is the desired outcome then...there must be some convergence point...Neo has proven that he is different from the previous ones...so is it a stretch to assume that each one differed slightly from his predecessor? The one seeds the free people in zion. Then...if neo was to seed the next zion then the descendents would have his ability to love an individual more than the collective??? as a side note: in this incarnation they have got the sex bit perfected!
"Free love Baby, Yeah!"
