»Numerous appearances of 1 or 101«

There are numerous appearances of 101 or 1. In M1 Neo's apartment is #101. The French Guy was on the 101th floor. The car chase scene happened on HWY101. In M2 when Neo spoke with the oracle in the forground was 101 on the wall in spray paint.

Sprayed? Where? When the Oracle says which words? I see "ONE" sprayed, however.

ONE, ZERO and TEN are extremely important sacred numbers -
ONE - ALPHA, the ONE, the FIRST from which all other numbers follow.
ZERO - OMEGA, NOTHING and END.
TEN -ALL and NOTHING, ALPHA and OMEGA. BEGINNING and END...

I wonder, why they don't use the number "8".
It represents "eternity" but it doesn't show up in the movies.

It may be worth looking for numbers that add up to 8, sacred numbers are often derived by adding or subtracting. If I can think of an example I'll get back to you with one!

Plus, you know, 0's and 1's are binary code...

The Human race can be divided into 10 distinct types, those who understand binary and those who don't

(Sorry if it was used before)

As everyone knows by now, trinity means three. The loop highway that the brothers built for the scene is 101 and 303. 101 might have been (since it was destroyed after shooting, which stinks) where neo saves morpheus and the key maker. 303 could have been where either a) trinity rides the motorcycle around the cars, or b) where trinity gives the key maker to morpheus and drives into an exit.
303 is also her room in the neb. It might be three though, I'm not quite certain on that one.
There were three cops that busted into the room and got their a**es kicked in M1.
She tried to tell Neo that she loved him 3 times (the third time succseeding)
Not only that, but in the Animatrix, in A Dectectives story, she tries to save 3 dectives. There were 3 agents there/
So what I'm wondering (and have been for a long time), is if Trinity and Neo ever have kids (if they make it), will their kid's room be 13, 31, or 4? Will their name have any significance to the number 4? And if she does get pregnant, what happens if she goes into the matrix, but her body in the real world goes into labor? Will she die there? Weird.
just some random thoughts

Their children should be "7". I don't know why it's just cool.

If we're doing 3s then how about the first few triangle numbers

1 - Well we all know about the one eh?
3 - There's that number again
6 - Cor blimey if it isn't that other polular digit
10 - Hm, ones and zeros again. (1010 in Binary)

Since 10 is a bit weak, we could just do what the bible code people do and make up tenuous links by looking for obscure patterns and adjusting the "rules" to fit;

10 in hexadecimal is A
'A' in ASCII is 65
65 in Octal is 101

Spooky eh?
I thought not.

(this is not a serious theory, just me messing about)

This may sound dumb but in M1 Neo opened a door with 101 on it. It was then Neo began to LEARN. Class 101 is in session. At the end of M1 Neo opens room 303. Neo 's schooling is complete and he is resurrected, transformed or reborn. Could it be as simple as that?

I doubt it is as simple as having one answer. But for an interesting tidbit go back and watch the scene where they first show neo's door. When you see it for the first time, half of the digits are cropped by the camera angle, so all you cna see is 1. A nice bit of foreshadowing.
