But where IS this hard-ware Source, btw? Looking at the “buildings” behind it, it’s not the battery towers as I thought for a while. They look more like some nightmarish buildings (very UN-machine like actually).
And I still think this machine is the explanation for the golden corridors and glowing tentacles.
Usually the rebels jack in from their ships after hacking the Matrix. How they get from A (the ship) to B (the Matrix) no one feels or sees. It happens instantaneous.
But if the God Machine (Architects physical form ?) plugs into Neo, this is a completely different kind of up-loading. It’s conceivable that we actually see Neo getting from A (the Speak-Machine) to B – namely the golden corridor, a virtual representation of a cable from “God”, and upgrades – glowing tentacles, and doesn’t change into his usual digital self until just before he enters the Matrix.
So we have machines represented in the real world and in the Matrix. Does that mean Seraph is a digital representation of a kind of sentinel??
