Matrix Discussion

[Metalogic]

So, while we're either working on the EMU, or simply waiting for the EMU, let is delve into The Matrix Universe. On this thread, I will post a topic for discussion, and when one discussion either runs out or comes to a conclusion, I will post another topic to discuss. All the topics center around The Matrix Universe.

If you have an idea for a topic we can discuss, you can PM me on here or the other two forums. Now onto the first topic!





In the video above, which is The Architect's Speech in Reloaded, The Architect says that there are levels of survival that the machines are prepared to accept. If you want the quote and skip the speech, then just go to 5:50 on the video.

Did the machines have a level of survival that didn't rely on humans, or was it a bluff by The Architect to get Neo to choose ?

It has been hinted in the original Matrix film, as well as MxO that there is a form of fission (or was it fusion?) that's combined with the power that the humans output that gives them their power. I could see them scaling back quite a bit to be able to rely solely on fission or fusion power. Or they'd just build more fusion power plants.

Let the Discussion begin!
