I think that the child is a metaphor for the matrix. It could need saving as Neo went through the door that would eventually cause a system crash of the matrix. The machines need humans to live. When the archatect said they were willing to accept some levels of existance i think that he was maybe trying to change neos mind or something by making it seem that humans aren't as important as he believes they are.
o that is a very good point,
i think that is correct
the matrix is there child,
cuz she says to programs that she trusted sold her terminations codes to the merovingian for love, for the life of there child,
so one of the programs would be the architect,
now which would the other program be,
if you find this out you find out who the mother is...
any ideas?
