About Zion: Maybe from a higher level, it may be virtual, but as far as the film involves, it is real, otherwise everything will be meaningless, it's just a video game. Neo was blind in the end. He could see the golden data stream of Machine City, but he couldn't see the spaceship, Trinity, or the red sun, which only showed that the world was real. From the machine's point of view, if it can make a Zion that is more real than the matrix, then why doesn't it apply this technology to the matrix? Isn't the matrix just for the pursuit of reality? Therefore, there is no need to set up the virtual world of Zion.
Regarding the cultivation of human beings: the interpretation of the movie is a bit far-fetched. It is said that the original book talks about using the human brain as a processor (the movie turns into a battery for fear that the audience will not understand it). This is more credible. And the more likely reason is that this is a machine to observe human thoughts, just like humans now keep wild animals in captivity. The difference is that the matrix is a zoo and Zion is a nature reserve.
About THE ONE: This is a program, but the program needs to have a container. This container is Neo’s body. This program was sealed in Neo’s body for a long time, but it was not activated. At the end of the first part, after Neo died once, The program was activated, and he gained superpowers. At this time, Neo is no longer a person in a pure sense, but a mixture of man and machine.
Regarding Neo’s ability in the real world: At that time, a robotic octopus entered Neo’s body. The robotic octopus was wirelessly controlled by the Robot City. There was a two-way communication with the Robot City. Trinity did not see the octopus entering Neo. , Which means that the entry is not the octopus entity, but the transmission signal between the octopus and the machine city. This signal is integrated with the THE ONE program in Neo’s body. The THE ONE program captures the wireless transmission frequency of the octopus, so it can be connected to the machine city. Let's explode the octopus. The THE ONE program itself can wirelessly transmit signals with the entire machine world (the prophet's so-called ability is not limited to the matrix), but the human senses cover him, and being blind is equal to lifting the seal.
Regarding the color of the data: the golden code that Neo saw is actually the transmission data of the machine city, the green one is the matrix, and the matrix is actually a subsystem of the machine city. Some codes in the matrix are also golden, indicating that they are actually programs of the machine city, or the underlying control programs of the matrix, such as Uncle KFC and the prophet, and some smuggled into the matrix, such as the Indian family. They were not originally a matrix. The program was smuggled from the machine city to the matrix, and so did Seraphim.
Regarding the right to choose: human beings have no right to choose at all. Both the matrix and Zion are under the control of the machine. The difference is just the degree of control. Neo didn’t have the right to choose. Even if the prophet played with fire and asked him to choose to save Zion or Trinity, it turned out to be a game of machines. Machines can wipe out Zion while talking and laughing, but the cost is that the matrix is missing. Recycle bin. The so-called choice is nothing more than studying human emotional changes, just like a mouse in the laboratory, let it choose to eat potatoes or dough, and then study its performance. The second part criticizes this right of choice very fiercely (anti-Christian?), but the third part is moderated. It may still take into account the degree of public acceptance. It seems that the Western world has a strong view of the concept of free will (the right to choose). A sense of worship. But seeing the impassionedness in Zion, I always feel that it is a kind of irony, which may be caused by cultural differences.
Regarding Neo’s bargaining chip: The machine also has its own problems. Smith mutated from anti-virus software to a virus, and the spread speed exceeded the control of the administrator, and it spread to Zion outside the matrix, and sooner or later it will expand to the entire machine city. At this moment, only Neo and his mutual elimination (annihilation) is the only solution.
Regarding the upgrade of the matrix: I think this upgrade of the matrix may not be the last time. The machine program with human emotions is still insufficient. In the end, the conversation between the prophet and the KFC uncle clearly shows that the human mind, the machine, at least The same is not learned, that is "treacherous".
Regarding the fate of the machine empire: Smith’s appearance is accidental, but the machine empire’s mutation will be inevitable. Before the mutation, Smith has already revealed a restless look. The little Indian girl is actually the other side of Smith—the mutation in the opposite direction. , Variation is random, and good and evil must also be random. A large number of mutant programs hid in the French. The French continued to improve their authority by kidnapping the key man, controlling the train man, and taking the eyes of the prophet. Sooner or later, they would become another Smith, and the machine civil war would break out sooner or later. The machine will eventually be destroyed by its own war, rather than a counterattack by humans, just as the majority of system crashes are due to program failures and virus intrusions, and hardware failures are rarely the case.
Regarding the fate of mankind: Maybe after the machine age, mankind still has the opportunity to counterattack, but in the long years, mankind may only become the rare protected animal of the machine empire. Or, entering the matrix to realize the unity of man and machine is the way of real coexistence between man and machine.
Regarding the matrix: the matrix is virtual, there is no doubt about it, but for most people in the matrix, the matrix is the reality and the world. Just like the people in Zion feel that Zion is real. The reason why people who jump out of the matrix hate the matrix so much is because they feel that they are controlled by machines. This reminds me of "Wali" again. Humans are not controlled by machines, but they chose to enter the online world. I always feel that when human beings develop to a certain stage, they will inevitably abandon their present physical body and pursue spiritual power and freedom. Therefore, for the people in the matrix, they are free. Although Neo’s company looks rather rigid, but The scenes of the movie still give those feasting and drunk dreams a lot. From the perspective of human emotions, if you know that there is a real Zion, you will inevitably have an urge to escape from the illusory matrix, but what happens after the impulse? The thought of the traitor in the first part can actually represent a large part of people. The truth is that the freedom and choice that mankind has in Zion is not even as good as the matrix! Of course, those who are willing to stick to Zion are brave and strong, but those who are trapped by the matrix have never been unhappy?
Regarding the program: In fact, in the matrix, there is no essential difference between a program and a person. The only difference is that the program has no body. Human beings are running in the matrix without the flesh, which can be regarded as a program; and the program, especially the little Indian girl at the end, is completely evolving in the direction of humans. Therefore, the so-called machine civilization may originally be an extension of human civilization. When the machine is completely the same as the human being, how to confirm that "it" is not "human"? (This is a bit like "AI Artificial Intelligence") Therefore, the conclusion that the so-called human civilization has been extinct is also worthy of scrutiny.
Regarding system balance: In the first part, Smith once said that human beings are a virus of the earth. I personally feel that this statement is correct, and it should include all life more broadly. Under this understanding, the analogy between the real world and the virtual world becomes the following correspondence: program equals the laws of nature, virus equals life (including humans), and system balance equals entropy increase. The existence of programs is for the balance of the system, while the virus is subjectively for self-replication, which objectively leads to system imbalance; the laws of nature ensure that the entropy of the entire real world increases, and the existence of life is subjectively for the reproduction of species, which objectively leads to a decrease in local entropy. . In other words, the existence of life itself is the product of the imbalance of the natural world system, and the concept of system imbalance held by the prophet in the virtual world is to create the "life" of the virtual system. The Indian girl is a successful model. Smith is due to reproductive ability. Too big and self-defeating.
