»some other questions«

1.In "Reloaded", the architect said that the first Matrix was perfect, but it failed.
The second Matrix was build on the idea of human minds. It also failed.
The third one was build on the experiences of the oracle with humans psyche. This one was accepted.

These are 3 Matrix!

But the architect always said that the Matrix in "Reloaded" is the SIXTH one.
I don't get it. Would be cool if someone could explain.

2. Had every of these Matrix one "One"? (I guess so)

3. The people that didn't accept the Matrix, are these the people that live in
Zion?

4. Everytime the Matrix was reloaded/reboot new, what happend to the people in Zion?

5. What would Smith have done, if he had won the fight against Neo in Revolutions?
Would he have destroyed the machine world?
What could he have done to reach the machine world?

6. Was Neo able to change between the real world and the Matrix without a plug?

7. Did Smith copy hisself into every human in the matrix? If yes, why didn't the other Smiths change back into humans like the oracle and Sati?
If Smith did so, did he also do the same with the Marovingian and the other "important guys"?

8. Why did the Matrix change suddenly after the fight?
Was this the 6th time, the Matrix was reloaded/rebooted?

9. Were Sati and the oracle connected to the Matrix? ( I don't think so because then they could have been deleted just like others)
I guess that's also why they are the only ones that changed back into humans.
That's also why the machines couldn't delete Smith, because he wasn't connected to the Matrix, right?

But why was a cat there?

I know this is a long post, hehe. But I can't get real sleep because of these questions LOL
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

here are my proposed answers to your questions:

1. it probably took the oracle 3 more reboots to understand the human psyche enough that the humans would accept the problem. the last piece of the puzzle was giving humans the illusion of choice.

2. every Matrix had its own version of the One to balance out the systemic anomoly which inevitably arises from the unbalanced equation that is the matrix. i think that the unbalanced anomoly in the 6th version is smith.

3. the people that didn't accept the matrix woke up in their cocoons (1%). the One had to pick 23 of these awakened humans (16 females, 7 males) to rebuild zion every time the matrix was reloaded. the machines probably tried the rest back in or killed them.

4. right before the matrix was reloaded every time, zion was destroyed.

5. if smith had won, he would have destroyed the machine world from the inside (virus replication) after the machines destroy zion. he wants "everything." but he couldnt have won because his purpose was to destroy neo and once that was done, he was no longer needed.

6. the One's powers extend beyond the Matrix all the way back to the Source. i interpreted this as a sort of wireless connection Neo had with the Source, which allowed him to control the machines in the real world. his "gold code" vision was a part of that wireless connection.

7. i think smith invaded every human in the matrix, which was why there were a crapload of them during the last scene. despite smith's virus-like powers, the basic design of his program is still that of an agent. there was a scene in Enter the Matrix where an agent left a human body and the human just shook his head as if he was in a daze. so this proves that humans taken over by agents don't die unless the agent himself is killed (this is seen many times in M1 and M2). so since smith's core design is still of an agent, we have to assume that when all the smiths were destroyed, the humans probably "woke up" as if from a daze.

8. the matrix changed after the fight because it was reloaded. after deus ex machina destroys all the smiths (through its connection with neo), he assimilates neo back into the Source, thereby faciliating the rebooting of the matrix for the 6th time.

9. sati and the oracle were exiles so they were independent of the matrix (so to speak). they could do whatever they wanted because they had no definite purpose. all exiles within the matrix are beyond the control of the machines. that's why they need to get agents in there to kill them (like when they tried to kill the Keymaker). smith also couldn't be deleted because he was considered an exile (free from the control of the machines). but the main reason he was so dangerous is because if the machine world had sent multiple agents after him (like they do with other exiles it wants deleted), smith would simply take over their bodies making himself more powerful. that's why the machine world needed the One to balance out the anomoly. finally, the cat was there to remind you from M1 that the matrix is changing (in this case, rebooting from scratch).[/quote]

the Exiles are beyond the control of the machines, but they're still bound by the rules of the Matrix that won't break. vampires, werewolves and ghosts (Cain & Abel, Cujo and the Twins) aren't NORMAL, but they're not out of the realm of believability. i think that anything that was completely unbelievable (like something from a Lovecraft story) would be hunted down and destroyed by Agents of the system, because things that challenge the ordinary person's perception of reality is a threat to the Matrix.

which is why Neo had to go. if he was around in the Matrix for long enough doing impossible things, it would have an effect on people's perceptions.

i think. *L*
