[QUOTE="Kesh, post: 903018, member: 1308"] [b]Re: Stuff that Still Has me Wracking My Brain[/b] I believe Neo has achieved a level of connection to the Matrix that does not require a physical link. Perhaps it's something unique to his implants, perhaps it's psychic... either way, he wasn't dreaming this scene. Rather, he 'felt' something had gone wrong, just as he 'felt' something was different when confronting the Sentinels. [b][/b] To kill Neo. That seems to be his only goal now. [b][/b] He found the name 'Oracle' to be grandiose and ill-chosen. It's the old science vs. religion conflict: the Architect represents order and precision, while the Oracle represents random probability and human faith. [b][/b] In the end, the Architect expects that there isn't a choice. Neo must choose to reload the Matrix and destroy Zion, because to do otherwise would mean killing billions. However, the Architect is still a machine. It thinks in binary terms: one or the other. And humans are emotional beings. Presenting each One with a moral dilemma makes it easier to control them, and force the 'correct' path. Neo just blew that calculation away. Which the Architect seemed to realise. [b][/B] Possible, but unlikely. If a certain time period is the most successful, it would be best to reuse it next time the system was reset. Consider the many people running Windows on their computers. Though it improves over time, essentially it follows the same appearances and conventions each time. For many people, that is more important than the intricate control you can gain with Linux, or simplicity of DOS. Of course, that means the MacOS is the very first Matrix. It's too perfect, and people wouldn't accept it. (Except for a few of us.) Ahem. Sorry 'bout that. :cool: [/QUOTE]
