In the early years, Zion virtual theory still occupied the mainstream, now it is 9102, and I am very happy that Zion virtual theory has returned to the stage.
I hate Zion's hypothetical saying that this explanation is not beautiful. In fact, returning to the origin of different interpretations, the controversy between Zion's virtual theory and the real theory can be said to lie in the super powers Neo displayed in the Zion-machine city world in the two parts 2 and 3.
Virtually speaking: Because Neo’s superpowers can only be in the Matrix, and later he can control the squid and see the code world in the Zion-Machine City world, indicating that Zion-Machine City is also a Matrix;
Truth be told: Neo’s superpowers stem from the management authority in Matrix, and Neo’s body inevitably has backdoor hardware and software left behind by various machine worlds. Then, his body has an unknowing wireless receiving device that supports others. The communication protocol does not have certain permissions other than Matrix, at least the access permissions are also very reasonable.
To be honest, this explanation that Zion really said better explains why Neo loses consciousness after controlling the squid at the end of 2, and explains why his consciousness wanders between the source of the program and the world of Matrix at the beginning of 3: Because at the end of 2, Neo felt and connected to the background control program through the wireless communication protocol, which overloaded the squid. At this time, his consciousness was at a higher level than Matrix, which was similar to the source of the program, but was subsequently programmed. The administrator of Zhiyuan recognized and kicked it out. At this time, his consciousness could not return to himself (because he discovered that he had a wireless communication protocol with higher authority for the first time, and he was not proficient in using it for the first time), nor could he return. Matrix, because he did not log in through a normal protocol (behind the head cannula), and the landing place is not Matrix either.
After his consciousness was retrieved and then returned to the body through the ordinary protocol (behind the head cannula), Neo was truly awakened. At least at this time, he can freely access the machine world outside the Matrix through the wireless protocol, but his ability is limited to the machine world. Relevance, manifested in his brain can only receive visual information related to the machine city and the code. It’s a pity that Smith is also flooding the Matrix world at this time. The Matrix world is facing collapse. The human beings in the matrix are about to die. Real-world humans will also die in the face of the squid army, so Neo can't care about enjoying awakening/evolution. /I finally realized the benefits of the upgrade, went to the machine city at any cost, and reached an agreement with the machine city manager, Neo connected Matrix in the machine city, sacrificed himself to infect Smith, and let the machine city manager get the virus Smith source code, anti-virus, and Neo returns to the source of the program with a BUG report. Matrix's sixth upgrade is completed, but Zion is also let go by the machine city that keeps its promise, a win-win situation.
Isn't this explanation more majestic than Zion's virtual self-consistent?
