»A non-religious, non-MwM explanation of the gold code.«

This is partially in reply to the matrix-in-matrix theorist who say that neo seeing the gold energy is proof or evidence that he is in another matrix.

i believe this is just a cinematic technique much in the way neo 'seeing' the code in the matrix one is. if you know anything about programing you'd realize neo seeing the code makes no sense whatsoever. (atleast with current programing languages. i'm sure people will counter that matrix programing is diffrent, but that doesn't contradict my main point, which i am getting to). when neo sees the code it is just a VISUAL METAPHOR. (like nash in a beutiful mind). the same is true about the gold energy. it doesn't mean anything religious or mystical or that he is still in the matrix. it means neo has gained an intuative understanding of how the source works and thus all it creates (or possibly an intuative understanding of reality itself, like in Phenomanon).

atleast that is my theory, ofcourse it doesn't answer alot, but maybe all the questions don't have one answer.

Nice job
should've changed the title however
