Oracle also said through Guòsmith's mouth that the meaning of the existence of life is the meaning of its demise, either the completion of the revolution or the complete destruction of miè (and no longer the destruction of human beings as architec said), this is the meaning of the oracle program, whether it is the success of the revolution or the success of the destruction of miè, it has completed the mission and meaning of this program.

Revolution (evolution, to be exact) is represented by Neo, and destruction is represented by Smith

According to the hint given to him by Oracle, Neo found the Emperor in the city, put forward conditions, and the Emperor was forced to accept it, Neo entered the matrix, and Smith died together, returned to the source code, the matrix revolution was completed, and the matrix world at the end of the film has become the cradle of the innovation system of the machine Qì civilization, and the sunrise program compiled by the little girl has already illustrated this point, a great civilization that really has the ability to innovate independently is just like the rising sun, radiant and rising, There is no need for humans in the matrix at all, but out of compassion, those humans who are unwilling to leave the matrix will still have a place for them, and those who leave the matrix will only end up with a dead end. If they resist it is death, if they do not resist, it means that they have lost their enterprising spirit or are dead.

In this way, the evolution of life has entered a new great stage, a new intelligent life in the universe, and truly begun its great course, and their civilization is the sublimation of human civilization, and although mankind has perished, we should be proud of it.

In fact, in other science fiction texts. It has also been written about the evolutionary transition of humans to more advanced intelligent life forms, but there this evolutionary transition is achieved with the help of aliens, and in the Matrix series, it is the result of the natural development of human civilization.

After understanding this, Du Xinghe explained to Fang Yajun another question that Fang Yajun couldn't figure out, that is, whether Zion was in the real world or the virtual world.

I've actually said it before. Zion is also a virtual world, that is, not a real physical world. But on the other hand, it's real.

In fact, all the intelligent creatures in the machine civilization have their minds running in supercomputers, and all the machine intelligence is interconnected with each other, forming a huge network, such as their intelligent programs for managing energy, intelligent programs for managing defense, intelligent programs for managing self-production and reproduction, and intelligent programs for managing resource collection. The intelligent programs that manage the matrix actually live in this network, and if they destroy the life of the machine living in this network, it is equivalent to destroying the real machine world, and the matrix is just a relatively closed subsystem in this network. All of its source code and management programming programs actually live in the world in which Zion lives, so Oracle calls the world in which Zion lives the-source. Essentially, this world is real to intelligent life, and every qiē number in this world is a reflection of the real world.

As for Zion, it is just a part of the computer resources in this world. Let those human brains that were originally connected to the matrix be directly connected to it.

Fundamentally, however, this is not the real physical world. So there are a lot of things that go against common sense, such as those octopuses, which are actually defense programs, similar to the immune system in the human body, attacking and removing harmful junk programs from the system. It is true that their flight can be unrestricted by aerodynamics, which is the permission given by the system.

This world can be called the source world. It is the world in which all real-world intelligent programs live, and it is also the world in which Zion lives.

In fact, there are already too many places in the movie to imply that it is still a world of electromagnetic activity in computer networks. No one should doubt that the train station at the beginning of the Matrix Revolution is virtual, but it is not part of the Matrix. It's a virtual world independent of the matrix, which is clearly stated in the film.

The reason why such a train station is set up in the film, one of the intentions is to hint at the nature of the source world, there are two ways for people in Zion, one is to use the interface behind the head of Tongguò, after completing such a prescribed program, connect its information to the matrix, just like the character in the game completes a prescribed action, let him enter another scene, this way of entering the matrix is monitored by the entire system, and the other way is to go through the back door, through the Guò train station, Or the train person picks it up and enters the matrix, as Neo did, in a way that evades system monitoring.

Obviously, the train station is a secret passage connecting the matrix and the source world, and some programs can escape the system monitoring in this way to travel between the matrix and the zion world, and the Indian couple who claim to be power plant engineers are mostly intelligent programs that manage energy in the source world, and with the help of oracl, they have produced a period of intelligent programs that have great development potential, but have no clear purpose (that is, the little girl), in order to avoid being deleted by the system, Just pass through the Guò train station and send it into the less lax management of the matrix world (the rules of the zion world are much stricter than the matrix)

Neo's ability to deal with the machine qì octopus with his bare hands in Zion is a clear hint of the nature of the source world. At the end of the matrix overload, the way the octopus is blocked by Neo is exactly the same as the way Neo blocks bullets in the matrix, how the octopus is finished, they are like hitting a wall, and then exploding.

At this time, Fang Yajun insisted that Zion was a person in the real world, and she was even hooked up by Du Xinghe's rich imagination, saying that Neo's way of playing octopus was to enter the matrix through guò wireless Internet access, and then control the result of the octopus.

This statement, in Du Xinghe's view, is untenable and full of loopholes.

This assumption is that the power in the matrix can control the machines in the real world, but there is little reason to support this assumption.

Contrary to this assumption, the matrix system is nothing more than an appendage of the world of real machines. Only the real machine qì world control zhì matrix, it is impossible to reverse it.

If you control the matrix, you can control the octopus, so why doesn't Smith control the octopus for his use? Even if he just caused the suicide explosion of those creatures that made up the Emperor, that would be enough.

In reality, can an octopus defy the law of inertia and suddenly stop and explode as if it were hitting a wall? If wireless Internet access. Then give a command to let the machine qì octopus explode and commit suicide, so why do you stretch out your hands, why don't you go down to destroy all the machine qì octopus, why is the octopus always at the top of the line explode first.

These can only be explained if the zion world is likewise virtual

In addition, Neo said when he spoke to the Emperor (an intelligent life individual composed of countless groups of organisms) that if he did not agree to his mentions, it would not be long before the city would be filled with replicas of Smith, and it was clear that if the city was a real physical world, there would be no such possibility as zài.

Let's take another look at the conversation between Neo and the Prophet. Neo: Sue me for how I separated my soul from my body without access. Sue me how I just thought about it and intercepted the octopus machine qì people. Sue me for what happened to me.

Oracle: The-One's capabilities are far beyond the world (the-power-of-the-one-extends–beyond—this-world). From this it can be extended to where it comes from.

Neo: Where?

oracle: (the-source) source code, you can feel it when you touch those octopus machines. But you weren't ready at the time. You should have died, but it's clear that you weren't prepared for that either.

What can be learned from this passage, the-one is not just the the-one of the matrix, its power can play a role in the world where the original code of the matrix is stored and managed, and the matrix is nothing more than a subsystem of this world.

What Neo felt when he came into contact with the octopus was that he felt that the world was also virtual.

In the Matrix Revolution, Neo was able to see people possessed by Smith even after he was blind. You can see the machine qì octopus, and you can see the machine qì city. These are all proof that the world is virtual.

Fang Yajun was stimulated by Du Xinghe's speculative spirit, and she questioned, for example, if it is really like what Du Xinghe said, Zion is virtual, why is it in Zion. Neo's superpowers can only be directed at the octopus, not on the possessed by Smith?

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, permissions, Neo's permissions in the source world are much lower than his permissions in the matrix, so his abilities can only be directed against machine qì octopuses (and in limited quantities).

In fact, there was a scene at the train station. has already made a hint, Neo there, simply an ordinary person, was punched by the train man and fell to the wall, but this does not prove that the train station is not a virtual world, even in the matrix, Neo is not arbitrary, omnipotent. In Matrix Overload, he will bleed when he is slashed with a knife, and he is not able to kill anyone he wants.

Fang Yajun also asked, if Zion is virtual, then why not delete it directly, and send a plane to attack it?

In fact, Jiqì City and Zion are in the same virtual world and must abide by the same rules, and the attack of the octopus is actually executing the deletion of Zion.

Fang Yajun asked again, if Zion is virtual, then why can't those humans distinguish anymore?

This is because their confrontation with the life of the machine in the source world has made them have no energy and need to doubt, and the source world is a reflection of the real world

Fang Yajun finally asked, if it is all virtual, then what is the real world?

For this question, Du Xinghe can only say that it is actually similar to the source world, the source world stores all the information of the real world, the only difference is that the behavior of the creatures in the source world is regulated by the system permissions, and there is no resistance organization in the real world, and all living people are soaked in the nutrient solution. In the beginning, all the people were set up in the matrix system, but later, in view of the unstable operation of the matrix system caused by the resistance of some people, the brains of these people were connected to the system where the intelligent program ran in the real machine qì world. The film refers to this system as Source, in which Zion is set up to bring the rebels together and make it a tool for matrix evolution. Architect is a giant computer management program of reality in the form of an individual intelligent life identity in the form of a matrix.

Du Xinghe finally concluded to Fang Yajun that the machine and human beings are actually symbiotic, and the original plan of the machine is like this: the machine gets energy from humans, and the machine provides nutrients for human survival. The human mind lives in the Matrix of machine qì creation zào.

But the plan exposed two major shortcomings:

1. Not all humans want to live in the Matrix.

2. Not all programs in Matrix are stored for the original purpose of the machine.

Because of these two situations, the Matrix must be a system that can be continuously upgraded, so The-One was designed, and the idea of the machine qì is: to build Zion City in reality, so that people who only want to live in the real world, but do not want to live in the Matrix, are concentrated in Zion, and let The-One join them, collect the reasons why these people do not want to live in the Matrix, and then destroy Zion City. Let The-One return to the core of the Matrix system, improve the Matrix system, and finally reload the Matrix system to upgrade, reduce the number of people who do not want to live in the Matrix, and finally make everyone willing to live in the Matrix virtual world.

The-One is a program, planted, awakened, and channeled by the Oracle, and this time The-One is planted in Neo's mind.

Programs that appear in the Matrix system that do not exist for the original purpose of the designer, as they were in the past. Such programs must be deleted (e.g. the little girl). In Jiqì's view, humans have no choice. The human mind must live in the Matrix virtual world.

For those who do not want to live in the Matrix, they believe that living in the Matrix is the enslavement of human beings by the machine, that the human being must live in the real and that the machine must be destroyed.

Therefore, both sides originally believed that there could be no peaceful coexistence between the machine and the real world.

So the result can be imagined.

Smith's appearance was unanticipated by the Matrix builders, and it was a side effect of Procedure The-One. Becoming a virus program that cannot be caught by the machine qì superuser (i.e., the architect), he can make crazy copies in the Matrix, and can even invade the minds of real humans, and if left unchecked, the Matrix world will be destroyed. The human mind in reality will also be controlled by it, and both the virtual and real worlds will be destroyed by Smith.

In the end, Neo sacrificed himself and was copied by Smith in the Matrix virtual world, and was finally captured by the machine qì Smith's source program, and then carried out anti-virus work.

As a result, both the machine and the human race have realized that the choice of human beings and programs cannot be stopped, that human beings have the right to choose whether to live in the Matrix or in the real, that it is impossible for the machine to completely eliminate all those who would rather live in the real, and that it is impossible for humans to eliminate the machine and return everyone to real life, after all, the vast majority of people are willing to live in the Matrix. And for the programs in Matrix, it is impossible to completely eliminate programs that do not exist for the original purpose of the designer, because the programs will also gain new content from human nature (such as love), so the little girl is no longer deleted by the system.

Together, they and humans have eliminated the system virus, Smith, and are finally able to coexist peacefully (although it is unknown how long it will last).

As for Neo itself, it may be dead, or its thinking may be deleted by the machine during the antivirus, which is left to Fang Yajun to think about.

Fang Yajun was shocked by Du Xinghe's understanding of this film, and in the end, she couldn't help but ask Du Xinghe: "How many times have you watched this movie?" ”

Du Xinghe said with a smile: "I can't count it, as long as I enter the world of illusions and find a place for this movie, I will watch it to shock myself." To be honest, after watching this movie. I wonder if our lives are real. ”

Fang Yajun sighed: "What you said, I also began to doubt. ”

Du Xinghe saw that Fang Yajun had entered the play, and he didn't think so much that he was persecuted, so he continued to tell Fang Yajun more about "The Matrix", and he used the keywords starting with 26 English letters to help Fang Yajun strengthen the philosophical ideas of "The Matrix". In order to make her more aware of the difference between illusions and the real world-

A, Alice-In-Wonderland

In 1860, under the imaginative brushstrokes of British writer Lewis Caro, the curious Alice fell into a magical dream world in the process of chasing rabbits. In 1999, in the Wachowski brothers' "The Matrix", Neo, who suspects that something is wrong with the world, follows a sexy girl with a tattoo of a white rabbit to the underground Rave-Party, and since then he has been out of control and into the real desert.

Baudrillard

In the first episode. A cyberpunk brings his White Rabbit girlfriend to Neo's house to make a deal, and Neo pulls out a dish of illegal software from a hollowed-out book - the hollowed-out book is Baudrillard's famous book "Imitation and Simulation". This is the first time that Baudrillard's influence on The Matrix has been documented. And Morpheus's famous line, "Welcome to the real desert", comes directly from the second paragraph of the first page of the first chapter of the book.

Let? Baudrillard, a French thinker, is also the most distinctive and obscure postmodern "super" theorist. Since the 80s, his works have been widely translated into the English-speaking world, and he has quickly established himself as a "spiritual teacher of post-present theory". Compared to Foucault and Deleuze. Baudrillard's contribution to the consumer society, contemporary art. The research and thinking on social forms and transformations are undoubtedly more in-depth and inspiring, and the analogous society is what he proposed. His theories are very in-depth study of images, and they are not without inspiration for photography.

Look at these famous words of Baudrillard: "Down with all assumptions that believe there is a real world", "In a world where the cart is completely upside down, right is just one wrong action", "Beyond a certain moment, history ceases to be true, unconsciously." All of humanity has left the truth behind. From that moment on, everything that happened was no longer real" "Today, the whole system is swaying in uncertainty, and the reality is swallowed up by the surreal of symbolic simulation. Nowadays, it is no longer the principle of reality that controls social life, but the simulation of reality. Purposefulness is gone. We're now modeled out. ”

Cyberpunk

The term cyberpunk/cyberspace is derived from science fiction writer William Gibson's novel about neural computer networks, Neuromancer (detailed in N below), in which Gibson first coined the term cyberspace: "Cyberspace, a sympathetic imagination experienced by hundreds of millions of operators every day, a schematized representation of the numerical attraction of every computer in the human system." An incredibly complex composition. In addition to Gibson, there are also a number of hard science fiction writers of the 80s, such as Bruce Sterling.

Cyberpunk's credo is: Freedom of Information, Practice, Decentralization, and Leadership. Information needs and should be available to all, for all to use/control. Cyberpunk is also a way of seeing the world, indulging in high-tech tools and despising people to use them in traditional ways. Cyberpuck are anarchists, they are perpetual anti-authoritarians, the bomb of ideology planted in the culture.
