»Racer's Grand Unified Theory of the Matrix Series«

**REMEMBER THIS IS ONLY ONE OPINION!
Just for fun!

Hello all.
I am fairly new to this board, and I have been a big fan of the Wachowski brothers' series for some time now, as most of you undoubtedly are.

First off, I have to say that the Matrix is unlike any other story put on film, fictional or not. It is without any doubt that, so far as I am able to surmise, the Matrix series is the end result of it's producers to show a 'grand unified theory' of the Great Left Mind of Universal Consciousness (Masculine attributations...IE Logic, reasoning, research, cold algorythmic analysis, equational attributes of the universe, etc), MARRIED with the Great Right Brain of Consciousness (Feminine attributations...IE dogmatics, spiritual matters, progression of thought, abstact observations, vague but definable non delineated constructs withing the Universe, procreation, regeneration, etc) , intertwining physics, quantum theories, multidimensional states of being, relativity and special relativity, along with Religious dogmatics and antithitic dogmatics of Kabbale, Christianity, Buddhism, Dharmanism, Pre cognitive Sun and Moon (or Venus) worship (and their interrelative effects and progenations within our microcosm), and so much more.

So basically, the series reflects and indeed, transects centuries and millenia of the basic understanding that everything, yes everything, has a male and female counterpart. And that key word is this:
BALANCE.

In fact, the word 'balance' was so important to the Brothers that the very word is used in the script, during the most revealing single line in all of the movies, when Oracle states Her Great Purpose, 'to UNbalance the equation'.

This indeed was Einstein's original belief in pursuit of his elusive Grand Unified Theory of Special Relativity: To find the Great Balance of matter, energy and force, expressed in one single equation.

In fact, ALL religions depend on BALANCE to acheive their goal: Buddhists for example follow the 'Middle Path', that is, the path of Balance.
Christians follow the BALANCE too: So much so that the fundamental belief is that although we are born in sin (or unbalanced in relation to our balanced state of closeness to God), we can achieve balance how? Only one way, through the Saviour (think Neo and his represntation in the movie), who is the TOOL of unbalancing the equation (IE Man is Doomed), only to achieve balance for everyone else (think 'He died for our sins' theology).

Even Pagans believe in the Great Forces of Balance, and inherent rewards for attaining such equilibrium (Do what ye will, IF IT HARM NONE or something like that). ..

Even Wiccans and the earth religions believe in BALANCE and have, for centuries on end, understood this mystic and mysterious poweful Force that prevades the Universe (think the THREEFOLD law..Wicca believes that if you send out 'negative energy' into the universe in any form, that it will come back to you Three Fold).

Wow, now hoe about that kids! That's right. That's the thematic message that can globally be seen throughout all Matrix productions...TO ACHIEVE BALANCE ONE HAS TO BECOME 'UNBALANCED'.

Every character I believe can be identified in three simple categories (ergo my Grand Unified Theory) comrpising ..
(1) 'pro balance Universal'
(2) 'anti balance Universal'
(3) Masculine attributives (outward force )OR Feminine attributives (inward force/nurturing/protecting).. (NOTE this has nothing to do with man/woman sexuality or any other mundane suggestions!) Most ancient cultures attribute everything as being 'masculine' or 'feminine'. IE water is feminine, fire is masculine..

The intersting characters are the ones who CONVERTED to aid in Zion and it's hopeful Great Dream to and end to The War.


Now. Let us apply my GUT to some characters, shall we?

Neo: Anti Balance Universal, masculine and feminine both. Oracle states Her Purpose is to 'unbalance it (the equation)', but she does not state that she will be the ONE to unbalance it! That is Neos role as seen in revolutions. Oracle serves Purpose by helping The One, and she even states so in the movie.
Notice that Neo appears perhaps having taken on 'feminine' characteristics when he is laying motioless in the Matrix, in the rain, right afterthe Smiths are turned to Light. (again this is symbolic it has nothing to do with 'gay' or whatever'). Neo has achieved enlightmentment by learning to balance to Inner Universe (otherwise called the 'microcosm'' within all of us) of feminine (or right brained), and 'masculine (or left brain) attributes of his Conscoiusness. Thus, He shows the Path to Enlightenment. Neo symbolizes Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, Gaia (spiritually), the New Man, Horus, and perhaps the corpus callosum.

Trinity: Anti Balance Universal, masculine. Trinity's one constant throughout is her ability to initiate conflict and indeed sustain it. Notice her 'position' in Reloaded during the big Cave scene versus Neo. Even though she is Neo's female partner, she is concurrently his MASCULINE SPIRITUAL partner as well (again this is symbolic it doesnt mean shes gay...Look past the flesh and see this truth!). Despite her Spirit counterpart of masculine attributes, she still is very 'female' when it comes to being Neos partner and aide. Trinity is representative of the Grail, Mary Magdeline, the Chalice, The Holy Mother, Isis, the Moon.

Agent Smith: Pro Balance Universal, masculine and feminine. This goes without saying. Agent Smith is of course the opposite of Neo, in all regards. Simply put, he has to be to exist! Smiths love for achieving balance Carte Blanche is seen in revolutions, 'Like what Ive done with the place?', referring to the Matrix's new look of balanced uniformity and overpopulated Smiths everywhere. Unfortunately Smith took the wrong path to achieve his Universal Balance, and the end result was his destruction by Light.
If Neo is a particle of matter, then Smith is anti-matter. as with atomic quantum theories, when matter and it's consituent mirror particle of anti matter occupy the same space at the same time, the end result is massive FORCE equiradiant (as visualized by the large spherical 'shock waves' in the Brawl scene....The more force matter and antimatter meet with, the greater the resultant explosion!)
***Insteresting sidenote...Did you notice how Smith and Neo almost always use moves that virtually mirror the other? Sure there are small variations between the two, but they are often very close.)
Agent Smith represents Lucifer, Satan, Cain, Abyss, without Light, the destructive Serpent, Vishnu.

Oracle: Anti Balance Universal, masculine: Similar to Trinity, Oracle responds to questions only, or statements that are really questions (See?)
While the questionER is always 'feminine' in attribute (sumbissive), the questionEE or one who answers questions is 'masculine' (dominant) in attribute only pertaining to a question and answer session. This does not mean that anyone who ever asked a question is universally feminine, but during the short 'Oracle sessions', Oracle holds dominance unmatched in her little kitchen there. OBSERVE how the only question she asked before Smith stepped into Oracles Kitchen was...What? Can you remember it? Hint: revolutions. What was the other question she asks at the end?
She only asks questions when she herself wonders if someone is going to 'die' or not!).

Finally, I will, without explanation, due to the tiredness factor here, type out attibutes for some others, quickly:

Naiobi: Anti Balance Universal, masculine.
Morpheus: Anti Balance Universal, feminine.
Sentinels: Pro Balance Universal, masculine.
Doc Bots: Pro Balance Universal, feminine.
Other Agents: Pro Balance Universal, masculine only.
Blue Pills: Pro Balance Universal, masculine and feminine.
Kid: Anti Balance Universal, feminine (but briefly masculine in animatrix).
Architect: Pro Balance Universal, masculine (and hating His existence).
Merovingian: Anti Balance Universal, feminine (this one requres Deep Vision).
Persephone: Anti Balance Universal, feminine.
Rowland: Anti Balance Universal, masculine.
Loc: Anti Balance Universal, masculine.
Motherships (their AI): Pro Balance Universal, feminine.
The 'Godhead' Bot in revolutions: Pro Balance Universal, feminine and masculine.
The Bot Bugs: Pro Balance Universal, feminine.

and finally,
The Wachowski Brothers: Pro Balance Universal, masculine and feminine both, HOWEVER, only approving of achieving this Balance through Unbalancing (death for the purpose of re birth, or initiation and receiving the Great Light of Universal Truth).

The Merovingian was right, there really is no escaping the nature of the Universe.
Or is there?

One final question, which I personally believe (and I think that nobody will agree with me) is the most important question to ask at the end of the Revolutions movie. I know this is gonna sound off the wall, and 'irrelevant' and all, but I still think this is most important to ask yourself:

**IS NAIOBI a hybrid machine made to look and function human?


Some quick points here:
(1)Why did no sentinels 'see' her when she was hiding (all she needs is a jump boys) along with her crew?

(2) She saw the oracle, so she must be 'Pod Born'...Or is she? Did you see her port holes on her neck?

(3) Why does she act 'robotically' during many of her dialog lines (which I think many MIS-interpreted to be bad acting and not have a purpose in the movie!)

4) How is it that she and she alone can 'navigate the mechanical line'? Only the machines can do that!

5) If Naobi is a HYBRID human/machine, then maybe Neo is too?

I dont think that Neo is a 'program', but rather a physical android who (a) looks and behaves very human-like and more importantly (b) does not even know he is a HYBRID android/human! granted he may be 'running programs' internally, but then again, aren't we all? Is not our DNA nothing more than an amino acid bio-coded string of code?
If you are hungry, isnt that just a program, the same program that ran on your great grandfathers DNA 'Code' as well?

If that is true, then perhaps, we...
Could be Hybrids ourselves.

Interesting thought, dont you think?

Have fun and thanks too eveyone who made a great entertainment series in a world of fluff and meaningless garbage media!

Good thoughts racer.

I agree with most of what you have said. However, I cannot agree with the fact that you are comparing Smith to Vishnu. That is illogical.

Quote:

but then again, aren't we all? Is not our DNA nothing more than an amino acid bio-coded string of code?

Yes, indeed. And that is a strong issue we must remember while analyzing these movie. Indeed that is the reason Smith's mind took over Bane's mind when he downloaded into Bane's body.

(1)Why did no sentinels 'see' her when she was hiding (all she needs is a jump boys) along with her crew?

ANS- There were no sentinels nearby so we assume that none came that way.

(2) She saw the oracle, so she must be 'Pod Born'...Or is she? Did you see her port holes on her neck?

ANS- Im sure there are. Maybe you missed them. Besides if she wasn't, wouldn't the rebels be a bit curious?

(3) Why does she act 'robotically' during many of her dialog lines (which I think many MIS-interpreted to be bad acting and not have a purpose in the movie!)

ANS- She does? No she doesn't, I didn't think so. They weren't as bad as Keanu's anyway.

4) How is it that she and she alone can 'navigate the mechanical line'? Only the machines can do that!

ANS- Who says only machines can do that? Humans have the ability to do it also. Its just pretty hard (apparantly). Niobe is the only one who has attempted it and that was a long time ago.

Yeah I guess I may have to go back and try to find any scenes where Naiobi has portholes (or not).

My whole thought on this idea that Naiobi was Human/Machine hybrid started when she said, 'Bye baby...Take good care of them'.

Now, when i first herd this, I thought that it was a simple reference to her 'baby' as being, say, like a boat captain who wil miss their boat (Female names have often been given to vessels...Considered good luck).

However, I thought further that there must be more to this, as she refers to the ship as having a 'fat ass' (a human-like element that she gives to a supposedly inanimate machine). Also, she say, 'hold on baby' when she does the 90 degree thing.

Personally I take these as hints to something more. If you watch closely again, you will note that in revolutions, Naiobi never once exposes her neck from the back: Either she is facing camera-forward, it is shadowed, it is blocked by her long hair (interesting how she even HAS long hair), and finally, Morpheus's hand is covering where the vertebral port holes should be.

This is why I do not say with fervence that she is definitely a hybrid; However she is (1) the only one in the whole movie who simultaneously does NOT believe in 'The One', but believes in him, enough so that she gives up her ship for him (an otherwise strategically illogical move for any human capitain especially during a time of war) (2) when cold logical statements are made by her, her voice becomes 'non modulative' (I have to use heaphones for this subtlety) (3) Is the only one who can fly the mechanical line (as the sentinels can in the chase scene)...I submit my evidence that she only can pilot the mechanical because Captain Locke says so.."That cant be one of ours..Thats a mechanical line..NOBODY can fly the mechanical". And who better would know that than someone as experienced and battle0ready as Locke...If anybody in Zion can fly it, he would know about it...And he does...It's his own girlfriend!
But she only did it once, a long time ago. Why did she do it? a stunt? to Show off? We do not know. My best guess is that she did it to show off to a much younger Morpheus.

The only intelligent beings that can 'fly the meechanical' are machines. Is Naiobi a machine human hybrid? I like to ponder over the phrase 'fly the mechanical'...Mechanical line...machine line...A line for machines only! Too difficult for humans.


So that is why I can only personally conclude so far, that Naiobi is a hybrid machine and human both, as is Neo. Wouldnt it be terrible to be such a creature? You cant love humans, because of your half-machine aspects, and you cant love machines because of your human elements (I kind of think she is perhaps a 'seven of nine' rough equivalent.)

So Naiobi maybe had a crush on Neo (since there apparently are not too many candidates for her anyways. Morpheus and her broke up after Morpheus's Oracle visit...But why? Did the Oracle reveal Naiobi's true nature as Hybrid Humachine? Or is Oracle simply a cookie baking homewrecking program? Well, if shes coming over to my place for dinner, you can count me out! Sheesh.

This is more out on a limb stuff, but I will throw this one in...Just for some kick...Naiobi has feelings for Neo...But she knows anything between them is imposible (I could almost feel Naiobi wanting to just take Neo away and make out with him, even though she barely moves, when Neo comes to announce that he needs a ship. Most women know, I am told, that the best offense is in fact a good smokescreen.) Naiobi had feelings for Morpheus, and they were perhaps rekindled, after her 'show off' session with flying the mechanical line (showing off to none other than Morpheus)
...Was Naiobi saying to Morpheus, 'Honey I am sorry that I never told you that I was half machine, but I still love you, and....See? Didd you just see what I could do? Arent I wonderful, now that I just saved your life and flew so excellently? Some things in this world never change (like being stuck being a Hu-machine), but some things do (Morpheus pleaase love me again even though I am half machine...Locke is an idiot!).

Well I suppose I will end this long boring post now before I get into trouble.

I hope they dont 'EMP' my silly posts here.

...partly machine, wouldn't EMPs have an effect on her?

I was wondering that myself..Wouldnt she be affected by the EMP?

When she flew the ship into the Dock, and they blew the EMP, she did not seem to be...Or did she?

After that point, we only hear her say two things for the movie's remainder. (1) That she was 'glad to see you too', and (2) She wonders what Morpheus is doing. Now, I found it interesting that both of these script elements are very human-like, almost as if she became more 'human' and less 'machine'.

More complexly (as so often happens when we think about this complex epic movie), it is certainly plausible that a Hybrid in any form can carry or 'EMULATE' it's disabled half.

In other words, say Naiobi's 'machine half' is disabled...She may still be able to 'hold in stasis' the machine part of her (that is...The intellectual AI aspect). She doesnt die because her 'human half' is of course impervious to EMP radiants.

I noticed, and I hope that you did too, that
(1) After the EMP in the dock, she goes from being 'super pilot' to barely able to get her words out. Initially I thought she was simply exhausted from the trip, but now I am not so sure. Was her 'machine half' knocked out? Can her 'human half' hold in stasis the machine AI until her 'machine half' reloads itself?
Notice that your computer does this very thing. You can unplug it from the wall, but there is still imformation on your computer, even though your computer is 'dead' so to speak.
But where? The hard drive (in stasis) and in the BIOS (again, in stasis but existent).
Is your computer 'exhausted' when it is not on? Well, no (unless you used it to read a lot of posts! )

So after the EMP Naobis Masculine energy (again...this is symbolic only) seems to vaporise as fast as the sentinel's IR sensors faded, and they fell within the womb (the dock=feminine).

So, as Architect would say, if humans=X and machines=Y, hybrids we will set to Z, thus....
If (Quant(sumX)+EMP)=Quant(SumX) (or no effect)
AND
If (Quant(sum(Y)+EMP)=Sum(SumY+(-SumY)=0 (or death),
AND IF
(Quant(sum)(Z)=Quant(SumX)/2)+Quant(SumY/2))
THEN deductivly we can say that
(Quant(sum(Z)+EMP=(Quant(SumX)/2)+(Quant(sumY/2)-(Quant)sum(Y)/2)
Conclusively we have
Quant Sum (Z) + EMP = 0 + (Quant(Sum(X/2) + (State Current Qunt(Y)/2).

Until (state Current Quant(Y/2) is restored (or reloaded/restarted), the value attributed to this variable is zero, if only for a short while.

So Naiobi doesnt die, but she is weakned by EMP, but nobody else.

A quick analogy I suppose may be that Naobi's machine half of her Being/Dynamos is the mothboard and CPU of her Being, and the human/dynamos aspect of her hybrid nature is like a computer's hard drive and BIOS. Even if the motherboard and CPU (and memory modules and bridge chipsets to add to the parallel visulaization here) are 'dead' (IE no electricity=no bloodflow=no life), the BIOS and hard drive can 'hold an image' of the last state of Being, until again, the motherboard and CPU (or machine aspect of Naiobi), come to life again (so the machine half of her is not lost!).

Hey isnt this fun? I thnk so. (Probably boring the shit out of most of you...Sorry!)

In Animatrix, we saw a female android being 'disassembled' in riot faashion by humans...I think that the Wachowski brothers put that in there for a reason...Not simply to visualize humans hate for machines (this message is already vvery clear), but that...Hey didnt you think for a brief second...That at first she was a human woman? I hope that you did.
In fact, it is possible that is what the Brothers were hoping you would think too. We were fooled werent we? We thought she was human...But she was both 'human-like' in appearance and emotion, and machine BOTH.
As with Spielbergs incredible movie AI, it could bery well be possible to hybridize (or synthesise) a human/machine hybrid.

Also, I observe that BaneSmith chooses a knife for Trinity (device for deleting humans), and an EMP ray gun for Neo.

Does Smith choose his weapons wisely? He is an agent after all.

Also...Sorry about the mistake there...I was actually thinking 'Shiva', when I attributed Smith to Vishnu...Shiva...Destroyer of worlds.
