Merovingian: Matrix 1.0 OS?

I wish you'd respond to my message. And no, I'm not "increasing my post count"

Ahnold> Eh? I’m sorry, but I don’t have the time to read every post in every forum. Are you referring to me asking what you meant with the technical comment? If so that was a legit question, seeing as you were neither asking, answering, or commenting on the actual topic of this thread.
If not – I’m clueless.

As ever, I prefer a simple explanation.

I simply think the Mero is a Renegade data acquisition programme.

-What can you see, Neo?
-It's strange. The code is somehow different.
-Encrypted?
-Maybe.

And there, we see a piece of cake in green code just like in the Matrix. So I believe Merv's place is an altered part of the Matrix, encrypted to avoid agents and others intruders not a limbo or something like Mobil Ave. In Mobil Ave Neo has no powers but in the Chateau he easily defeated Merovingian's henchmen.

It was never said that Neo lost his powers while in Mobil Ave. He just never had a chance to use them...

And maybe the Mero is the program used to partition the Matrix, which would be the chateau?

And in ETM, Sparks says that the chateau's blueprints are all messed up because it has changed so many times, or something like that. And signals cannot be received while inside the mansion. Maybe it's designed so that the chateau and anything in it cannot be detected, which stops the Matrix from finding them.

Usually, if I then proceed to install Windows XP my old OS will be deleted. But there ARE stories of Windows98 surviving on the partitioned domain, much to the chagrin of the users 😄
Hence the reason I speculated that the Mero could be the operating system for Matrix 1.0 (the first, the perfect Matrix). The Architect wanted to keep some of the good, working programs (sunrise, sunset, clouds, rain, birds… etc), and made a partition and wanted to install Matrix 2.0 (and later 3.0). But since said OS was also an AI it didn’t want to “go away.” A partitioned domain could easily have a subroutine access to the router, this subroutine being the Trainman.

I just had the distinct pleasure of watching Revolutions (again), and must admit that it gets better with every viewing. I keep stumbling over things that went over my head the first times I saw it (Such as the station name Sellma(?)).

Anyways: I’ve been wondering what and who the Merovingian is for some time now, and here’s an idea: Could he be the operating system from the FIRST perfect Matrix? Windows users are probably aware, that if you want to go from, say, Windows98 to WindowsXP and keep your stuff, you first have to make a partition of your HD. And that partition does not ALWAYS go away after installing the new operating system.

Let’s suppose that was what the Merv originally was. An operating system, who managed to create his own domain on the machine matrix HD, when the Architect installed version 2.0 and even 3.0. Such a partition survives a restart. Such a partitioned domain can easily have a subroutine link (Trainman’s Mobil Ave) to the router between the Matrix and the Machine World.

I’ve been wondering what KIND of program would fit the parameters: One of the oldest programs. One of the most dangerous. Trafficker of information. Samples languages. Such an old OS would fit the description. And it would make sense that he’s named after Kings, as he’s indeed an old ruler, and now a ruler of his OWN domain.

if we want to go from win98 to winXP, we never want to make a partition on our hard disk
