Quote:

you say that it is not implied but revolutions is a plural. There are several revolutions there

There is a double meaning in the name "Revolutions". There is the human revolution, the war. And the Revolutions of the Matrix as it completes its cycles (it is now on its seventh cycle). There is no need to assume that the Machines are having a civil war in order to justify the name.

As I said (yeah, I just repeat the argument that you just superbly ignored) : if revolution is to be considered as a cycle, then there is only one cycle starting here. No ?

No.

I'm pretty sure that programs do exist in the outside world inside machines like the sentinels or drones or whatever else. However, i still don't quite understand the mechanism that Smith uses to write himself onto Bane. I'd say the machines probably don't know how to do this or else they would have tried to infiltrate Zion that way. But I could see the possibility of sentient machines mingling with the Zionites, although, I'm not sure if the Machines would trust the humans that much.

(rubs hands in anticipation). There we have it! All the exiles have to do is to form an alliance with the programs, both groups figure out how to get the programs placed into the real world where they could somehow wreak a mole-like havoc on the unsuspecting machines.

Yes, no? ....Interesting....
