Evil Dead
Enemy of the Gospel
I must say though to be honest.........senerio number one is not only more logical, but has been more illuded to so far..........especially by the architect.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neo - Why am I here?
The Architect - 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 assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neo: There are only two possible explanations: either no one told me, or no one knows.
The Architect - Precisely. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly's systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Architect - The function of the One is now to return to the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program. After which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion. 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
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Architect - It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Architect - Already I can see the chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The architect speaks as though Neo himself is a code........the code that resulted as the anamoly of the architect's mathmatical equations............not as if Neo is simply the digital projection of Thomas Anderson....................................he mention's the function of the one.........the function just so happens to serve the machines, to enter the mainframe and rebuild Zion, which means the machines win the war and everything starts over again........................here's the kicker, the best evidence:
"It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one"
He basically says that Neo's five predecessors were designed NOTE DESIGNED to have a profound attatchment to humans, which ofcourse facilitates the function of the one as his function is to enter the mainframe and he does so because he wants to save the humans he is so fond of.
All this points in the direction that Neo is indeed a program designed by the machines with a specific purpose..................and if a program exists in the "real world" that means the "real world" is also a program, nothing we've seen so far is real.
Ofcourse there is supporting evidence of this throughout both movies so far................there is also evidence to support the latter theory, but not nearly as good or nearly as much.
Also note that nobody knew that there were 5 anamolies before Neo......why would they have not known...........if "the one" was human then surely he would tell the people he freed then led to rebuild Zion that he was not the first anamoly...................he would also not pass on the prophecy once he realized that by entering the mainframe the humans would have to start all over again..............he would want the future generations and the future "one" to break the cycle as he failed to do so.
This is my working theory right now.......not definite, just something I've been kicking around:
Neo is a program designed by the Matrix for a specific function.........he is part of a larger program that includes Zion and keeping the humans at square one so they can never win the war.
The function of Zion: A place for humans to live and believe to be real.........believing the rest of the human race is enslaved, they want to stop the machines. There just so happens to be a prophecy that a man born into the Matrix will do just that, the one. This leads them to find "the one" so he can free the humans.
Ofcourse this prophecy is false.........by entering the mainframe "the one" is actually ensuring the slavery of the human race.....taking the humans back to square one so they cannot win the war, they stay enslaved.
The one is designed by the machines to want to help the humans free all mankind................he helps them and enters the mainframe.......this indeed puts the humans back at square one so they must start all over again. This happens five times. It is a perfect cycle....the humans can never free themselves, every time they get to end of the race, they are automatically thrust back to the beginning...........perfect untill Neo comes along.
Neo is different for some reason............perhaps the program was created too perfectly by the machines............this program not only has a deep affection for mankind but he also learns to love. His love is what ultimately breaks the cycle........he opts to save Trinity instead of entering the mainframe. Now the cycle is broken and anything is fair game.............the machines have no clue what is going to happen next.
Where it goes from here, I have no clue..........it could go so many different directions I'm not even going to speculate.
