The matrix trilogy is one of the
finest creations of the modern era. It tries to give answers to the most pertinent questions man has been searching for since his evolution. I like to
compare this creation with the great sanctified books like Bible, Geeta and
Kuran. All these books have a purpose, purpose to enlighten human beings and
show them the path to follow. Matrix Trilogy is an attempt to bridge the gap between
Religion and Science and to unite them and lead them in one direction.
The trilogy is
much more than an intellectual Sci-fi movie. Everybody can relate his faith
with the trilogy. Trilogy has used Excerpts from almost all faiths known to
man. But most of us find the trilogy
to be very complex and hard to understand. The purpose of this report is to
solve the complexities of the Trilogy based on simple Equations which anybody
can understand. The views mentioned are of the author and has no semblance with
the creators of the Matrix Trilogy.
I would like to explain the
Trilogy in the form of Questions and Answers since many of us are so obsessed
with these questions that we have propounded our own theories on it, based on
our perceptions and faiths.
I
presume that the readers have watched all the three Movies and are quite
familiar with all the characters of the Trilogy.
What is the Matrix?
Ans. Matrix is an artificial world created by The Architect to
control all humans connected with the Matrix and use them as a power source for
Machines. It is an interactive virtual world created by the Machines, based on
the building block of Artificial Intelligence, binary codes 0 and 1, or ON and
OFF.
The Architect used the following
equation to build the matrix.
The Matrix = 1/0
To understand this equation, take an
example:-
100/5 = 20 in this equation, 5 has
to be added 20 times to reach the figure 100.
In equation 1/0, how many zeroes are
needed to be added so as to reach 1? The answer is infinite.
Based on this equation, the architect could manage
infinite human beings inside the Matrix for an infinite span of time. The more
the humans, the more power the machines could extract from them.
Like any software, the matrix
software is compiled in Machine Language. The Architect defined the Start
function and the Stop/End function so as to run the matrix on computers.
The start function is assigned to
Agent Smith Program and assigned the Value Zero, The building block of the
Matrix. He was made the guardian of the Matrix. His purpose was defined to
erase all potential End functions (Neo Program) from initializing, so that the
matrix can run to infinity. Anything multiplied by Zero gives Zero, so nobody
could stand against Smith in the Matrix.
Neo Program is the Exception/End
function of the Matrix and assigned the value 1. The purpose of Neo Program has
been defined to end the matrix and reload it again. Thus the End function Neo
is an anomaly, which is revealed both as beginning and an end.
The Architect does not have full
control over the Neo program though he created it. So he gave Neo Program a
choice to reconstruct Zion or return to the Matrix. The Architect presumed,
that Neo will always choose to reconstruct Zion instead of returning to the
Matrix, where Smith is present to end the Matrix as well as the entire Human
Race. So, the Architect could finally control Neo and Reload the matrix every
time Neo Program reaches the Source.
The Architect wanted Neo Program
to comply as the previous Neo’s did but again met with a failure. Neo took
outstanding courage to fight against all odds to reclaim Trinity and Zion, and
made a choice which could also lead to the end of human species.
The Architect had faced
innumerable Neo’s before, and based on his previous experiences and failures,
he categorized them in Versions, as per the changes he made in the Matrix. It
was the Sixth time, the Architect has made the Changes in the Matrix, but still
he could not control the Neo Program, as Neo chose the door the Architect did
not wanted, because it has the possibility of human race extinction, which
could lower the levels of survival for the machines.
Ques. Why is Agent Smith zero and not -1 ?
Ans. In the Binary system, there are only two digits, 0 and 1. The
Machines can understand only the Binary codes or On and Off. The Machines built
all their knowledge and Artificial Intelligence using Binary codes. The
computers are made of transistors which go on and off and make computing
possible. The architect was the creation of the Machines, so is the Matrix.
Agent Smith Program and Neo Programs are the creation of the Architect. So if,
Neo Programs is the One, then the Smith Program, which is his opposite, his
negative, must be the Zero, and not -1.
In the equation The Matrix =
1/0, if 0, the smith crosses the Equal to Sign and multiplies itself with
the matrix, then 0 x The Matrix = 1
0
=1
1 will be equal to 0, which is a disaster for
the Machines. So when smith program becomes out of control, The Architect ends
the Matrix and Zion, to create a new Matrix and Zion with the help of Neo
Program.
Neo Program is the sum of the
remainder of the unbalanced equation 0=1. The One must always be not getting
equal to Zero, otherwise the Matrix will end.
When Agent Smith was defeated by
Neo, he could not believe it. Zero function, was meant to be the most powerful
program of the Matrix. So Smith started disobeying the Matrix and start
enhancing his powers by converting every human being into zero. He wanted to
balance the equation 1=0. When he tried to convert Neo to Smith at the first
instance, he was rejected because the architect needed neo program for
recreating the Matrix. Only when Smith converted the all-powerful Oracle into
zero, then only he became powerful enough to convert Neo to Zero.
When Smith came to Oracle to
convert her into zero, she called him a bastard. Smith says “you know it mom”.
The source of smith, the zero, is not known even by the Oracle. Zero is the
ultimate building block of the Matrix.
Ques. What is a Program in terms of the matrix and the real world? How
is Neo different from Neo Program?
Ans. Program can be termed as a set of commands which can be
interpreted by the computers and human brains alike. They are like thoughts of
human brain, an Ideology, a philosophy. They don’t physically exist but can be
perceived as a human being by the matrix or as a ghost in the real world. They
are nothing, but still affect human lives in the matrix as well as the real
world.
Neo Program is the Stop function
of the Matrix. It is not a human Being. It is only a set of thoughts. When Neo
starts believing in himself to be the Neo Program, then only he and neo
programs become one. The thought that he is neo program, resides in his
unconscious mind and he becomes the one. Anybody can become the one, everybody
is equally created, but only differ in there beliefs and thoughts. Agent Smith
was assigned to stop all the potential neo programs from initiating, so that
matrix can be protected till infinity.
Serif, Oracle, Sati are all
programs, an ideology that is perceived as a human being, but they are
non-existent.
Ques. What is the Oracle Program?
Ans. Oracle is mother of
the Matrix, as in abruptly mentioned by the Architect. Her purpose is to keep
the equation 0=1 unbalanced, so that the matrix can continue in succession.
Unlike the Architect, She has a soft corner for Human Race and wants the
machines and Humans to unite and work for a common cause. She believed that the
meaningless war between humans and machines will end one day and then heaven
will see upon earth. She played the dangerous game of inspiring neo and making
him convince that he can end the war between the man and machines and will not
come in control of anybody else except his own conscience.
Ques. What is the EMP? How was Neo able to stop the sentinels just by
thinking? How was Neo able to see even though his eyes were burnt?
Ans. EMP is the tool used by humans to disable the Machines. It is
a Magnetic field in which the two poles of the Magnet are united into one. This
result in the switches of machines to get affected and the on off transistors
start malfunctioning and the machines stops functioning. Thus EMP is a position
where 1=0, this is only possible in the real world, because machines can never
be allowed to balance the 1=0 equation in the Matrix.
Architect’s room was outside the matrix. When Neo was to
enter the room of the Architect, Neo program should have separated from Neo's
Body and the Architect needed the Neo program to reinsert it in the Matrix so
that a fresh version can be loaded. But, Neo managed to maintain a connection
between him and Neo Program even in the Architect's room. That's why Architect
says to Neo:-" Though the process has altered your consciousness, you
still remain irrevocably human".
When Neo program came out of the
Architects room, in the unconscious level, he realized that Neo and Neo
programs are two different Identities. He started feeling things in the real
world. His sixth sense had started operating.
Neo Program is derived from the
equation where 1=0. When the sentinels came near Neo, they were affected by the
Neo Program which resides in neo. The neo program code 1=0 affected the
sentinels and in the process neo program was separated from neo’s brain and
lost in the world between the Matrix and the real world.
This
made Neo unconscious, though he still manages to have a connection with Neo
programs. Later, he was found at the train station. This was a Program created
by the train man to smuggle other programs in and out of the matrix. The
Merovingian and his gang, must have survived the previous versions of matrix by
saving themselves at the train station when the matrix was being reloaded, and
must have returned in the next version. Neo program also find place in the
Train station from where it can return to the Matrix and finally back to Neo.
When Neo’s eyes were burned by
Smith (Bane), he still could feel smith by his sixth sense. This sense was
activated in Neo because he thought himself to be the Neo Program, He believed
himself to be the one who can save humanity.
Ques. What is the Sati Program? What relevance it had in the trilogy?
Ans. Sati is the daughter of Rama Kandra and Kamala. They all reside
in the Matrix. Ramakandra knows that in Matrix, only those things exist which
have a purpose. So he goes to the Oracle. Oracle must have told rama that sati
program can be separated from sati’s body and Merovingian can help him do that.
So the parents went to the train station along with Sati, The train man
separated there bodies and took their programs with him to train station. Then
he took them back to the Matrix. Now sati program was separated from Sati’s
body. She became an ideology. Oracle gave sati to Serif. Serif is the ideology
which helps in saving what matters the most.
Sati has a very important
significance in the Trilogy. Sati is a hindu ritual performed by a wife to
sacrifice her life along with the dead body of her Husband. This is an ultimate sacrifice of a woman for
a man. Hindu religion believe in this sati Program. It not at all means that
this ritual must be followed; it only means that a woman should try to have
that much sacrificing power for her man. If this happens, this world will
become heaven.
The sati program brought heaven
in the Matrix too.
The act of being sati is though an extremist thought. But it
is the foundation of Hindu culture. It does not mean we should do sati ritual,
it just means the woman should have that much sacrificing power.
It is the power of Sati which can make Earth again Heaven.
Ques. What is the
significance of the Sanskrit Shloka sung in chorus in the end of the Movies ?
Asato Ma Satgamaya,
Tamso Ma
Jyotirgamaya,
Mritoyr Ma
Mritamgamaya,
OM SHANTI SHANTI
SHANTI (The Mantra)
Ans. The Matrix Trilogy Movies have many Hinduism
connections. This Shloka is an
excerpt from Upanishads, One of the many known epic texts of Hinduism.
It is written in Sanskrit, which is also the Mother of all
languages known to man today.
This shloka means, Oh Mother Superior, Bring me to the path
of Truth, Bring me to the heaven of Light from the hell of Darkness, Make me
Immortal and free from the fear of Death. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti is the Mantra to achieve all this.
Om in hindu religion means The Infinite.
It means Om = 1/0
Shanti:- Women have a very special place
in Hindu Culture. In the great Epics of Ramayana and Mahabharta, we can see the
role of Sita and Draupadi, which are the most important roles in the epics.
Sita's kidnapping was the root cause of mortality for the
Immortal Ravana.
Draupadi Cheer haran was the root cause for the defeat of
the undefeatable Army of Kauravas.
Woman can be termed as the Zero, the
silence. If a man respects the woman, he gets heaven, but the man who
disrespect the woman, gets Hell. Woman has no power in herself, but her love
can make miracles for Man. It was Trinity's love that made Neo think he is the
One.
Every woman has the power to satisfy any
man, but no man can satisfy any woman except the One.
Like The Persephone , the wife of Merovingian, she was not
happy with the Merovingian , though he was very powerful man and had unlimited resources.
She was made satisfied by the One, Neo by just giving her a loving Kiss. She
gave away the Keymaker to Neo, but the man who never forgives and never
forgets, the great Merovingian, could do nothing to her. This proves how
powerful and important Persephone was to her husband.
In Hindu culture, a girl is taught to
make sacrifices from the very beginning of her life. When she grows up, She
keep fast in the name of long life of her husband, she risk her life in giving
birth to a child and what not she does. Sati, is an act of extreme sacrifice by
a woman for her husband.
It is the sacrifice of a woman, which
keeps the world running. Woman should have equal rights with man, but if the woman
misuses her rights, it will be end of the World. The act of Persephone resulted
in the End of the Matrix by Neo.
A man's lust for sex can easily be
satisfied by any woman, but the lust of woman, no man can satisfy. Draupadi
was blessed with Five husbands, because the qualities she wanted for her
husband, can never be found in a single man. Only Lord Krishna, the one, can
satisfy the lust of any woman.
Radha sacrifice her lust for the one (Krishna) and
marries a simple man.
In Bible, Eve, the woman is held
responsible for bringing the man to earth from Heaven. She urged the man to eat
the fruit of knowledge, and god punished them for this act and sent them to
earth. A woman can make the life of a
man from heaven to hell.
In Kuran, Woman is expected to abstain from going in public
without a “Burka”. Because the beauty of woman can make a man an evil and he
might commit sins to have that woman. It is an Ideology, It just not mean to
curtail the freedom of Woman, It is thought to curtail the urges of man against
the woman.
This is the truth man cannot accept easily. He thinks, he is
the supreme, he is the one with all the power, but the source of his power can
only be a woman. Only a Woman's sacrifice can make the world of man.
So Shanti can be termed as the Zero.
Hence Om can be explained easily:-
Om = 1/Shanti
One is the human who believes in the infinity of god and
knowledge and also respect the Zero, shanti, or Woman and wants peace.
Anybody can become the one just by believing in the Mantra.
Ques. Why shanti has
been repeated thrice in the Mantra?
Ans. Om has three parts. Each of these parts
have equal powers which together constitute as one. Om sign depicts the letter
3. The three parts are:-
Bhrama which means Creation
Vishnu which means Preservation.
Mahesh which means Destruction.
But 1 cannot be equally divided in three equal parts. So,
they form a circle. Only a circle can be equally divided into three parts. So
Creation, Preservation and Destruction which is the source of the Universe,
goes on in circles. Every Beginning has an End, and after every end a new
beginning takes Place. This principle of the Universe goes on till infinity.
And since all the three powers of the universe form a circle, a zero. Zero and one
both are meant to be the Source of this Universe. One cannot exist without the
other.
Shanti has been chanted thrice after Om, to give gratitude
to the three gods of the Universe.
Ques. What is the
connection between Agent Smith and Neo? What do they really want?
Ans. Both Smith (0) and Neo (1) are the source
of this universe. They have only one thing in common. They both want silence.
Smith wants silence in the universe by destructing human beings and also the
machines, where as Neo wants peace between humanity and Machines
All religions also preach that Silence is sought after by
God and Evil Both, but there ways are different. Evil wants Silence by
destroying everything, whereas God wants Shanti Peace by Preserving.
Ques. What is
Causality, the only constant of the Universe? What is the relevance of the Sex
Scene and rave scene in Zion?
Ans. The
Explanation of Merovingian about Causality, the only constant in the Universe.
For every Cause there is an Effect.
When you
drink Wine, you have to pee (Urinate). There is no escape from it. No matter
how clean water you may drink, you still have to pee. Because our body creates
waste which needs to be clean by urinating it out from the Body. So this is the
Cause and Effect relationship.
Urinating is a karma, its purpose is to clean the body. The
Karma which has a Purpose remains in this world, the rest are worthless so
deleted.
Sex, just like food and water, is an essential need of human
body. Even the One has to have sex with his beloved trinity. The rave scene
depicts that we humans are originally animals and still have animal instincts.
We cannot live without them. Only our faith in god can help us relieve from
these animal instincts.
In Hindu Religion, Sex is considered Forbidden for certain
age in life. It is a Sin.
Sex is also a Karma, Sex is the function of the Body to
clean all the sins in the mind of humans, and after sex every human is clean
from all the sins. Now if this karma is done for a purpose, that is to please
your partner or to have a child, the sin converts into blessing and a new life
is born in a form of a Child. But if the karma is done for self pleasure, after
having sex, the human become free from all sinful thoughts.
So, when woman are not satisfied with sex, the sins does not
clean out from her mind, and she can make any man evil. Where as, a man, when
satisfied after having Sex, does not need woman any more, and cannot become
evil persuaded by her.
It is an Irony
that man is the most sexually explicit animal in the world, but still, he
cannot satisfy the lust of his better half, the woman. A woman need sex equally
as man, but man has misconceptions about himself.
In the
western world, where sex is so explicit, man and woman are considered equal,
still, they cannot control the society from falling in the clutches of Evil
instincts of humans. Because, there, children are not taught that sex is a sin.
It is as bad as urinating or excreting. The children are not taught to have
abstinence. They are never told to sacrifice. And in such environment, they
become violent and uncontrollable. They are not taught that sex is a way to
clean there minds from the sins and Fantasy.
Where as in
India, Sex is a forbidden karma, it is just done for a purpose that is to have
a Child. But the western effect is blinding Indians from this truth. They are
exposing woman, creating evils in the minds of our People. And people are
falling pray to Evil.
If the
world understand that sex is a karma, and should done only for a purpose, then
this world will become a heaven. Every Religion says that but nobody obeys
that, because they think, there is no god who can read there minds.
But these
fantasies, these sins one day, burst out and man become an evil. So from
childhood, everyone should be taught that god is within our minds only. We are
our own judges. If we choose to believe in god, this world will be heaven, but
if we choose evil, the world will become hell. God won’t come to help us or
save us, but only the faith in him can give human so much power that he can
survive any difficulty.
If a man
believes in god for a Purpose, than that purpose can’t be deleted, but if a man
believes in god because of no purpose or reason, he will be deleted.
Ques. What is the
Purpose of Matrix Trilogy? What does the creators of the Trilogy want to convey?
Ans. The creators
want to remind everybody that every beginning has an End. Nothing is permanent
in this World. All religions and Science proves this point. The quest for
knowledge is till infinity, and we must always search for the truth. We must keep faith in god in
which ever form we like, but should consider him as one. Anybody can find the
truth and become Neo. Neo, had to fight the whole world in form of Smith, still
he did not gave up. Smith enlightened Neo
by revealing that Love and Freedom, are all vagaries of perception, an illusion
created by the humans to justify there existence. And the truth is, everything
that takes birth has to die one day.
Only thoughts can be immortal. Every thought which has a purpose cannot
be erased from this world.
For example, Sati is a thought. It
should not be performed but should be understood. Humans must abstain from
animal instincts, then only heaven can be brought to earth. If we believe it,
we can make our world heaven.
Ques. Why Neo saw a
Lotus flower in the end of the Trilogy? What is its significance? Did Neo die
in the end of the Movie?
Ans. Lotus is
considered a very divine flower in Hindu culture. This flower grows in filthy
water, but still makes the place look delightful by its beauty and smell. It is
said, that God Brahma sat on lotus flower and created this world.
We Humans,
have many filthiness in our body. But by keeping our mind clean and free from
all our animal instincts, we can make the world a Beautiful place just like The
Lotus.
I suppose
Neo saw the Mother Nature sitting on the Lotus Flower giving him a blessing of
eternal life.
Ques.
How can the Theory of Matrix =1/0 be understood at macro and micro level?
Why
did the Architect asked Neo to save only 23 people for a new Zion ?
Ans. "Yatha Bhrammande tatha
Pinde"
In vedas it is said " yatha bhrammande tathaa pinde "
it means, the nature of the universe and matter, at micro or macro level, is
the same.
The equation of the matrix Matrix =1/0 explains this very well
at the micro level, how a life is borned?
There are many millions of sperms, which goes on the hunt for the Ovary.
Only the best sperm reaches the ovary (the source), and mates with ovary to
make a single cell life.
A sperm has 23 chromosomes and an ovary has another 23 chromosomes, and when
they fuse, a 23 pair chromosome is formed in a single new born cell, and then
it multiplies and form a human body.
At the macro level, how life is borne?
There are many millions of Near Earth Objects or NEOs, which are just at the
outskirt of the solar system, some of the Neo also carry life forms in it. When
some neo attracts towards the earth, it fuses with earth and seed the earth
with new Life. So NEO ends life and also bring new life on earth.
So you see, only one in a million is enough to create life and expand it.
Remember, the architect, he asked Neo only to save 23 people to form a new Zion.
Why 23 ????
Because, architect followed the principle of life, 23 pairs of chromosomes are
necessary to build one human.
23 people along with neo are needed to build a new Zion.
The matrix enlightens us that we all have neo and smith inside us, the fight is
happening all the time.
But if neo wins, humanity can be saved and will continue even if end of days
come,
but if smith wins, humanity may succumb to death and human species may end like
Dinosaurs.
The threat to humanity are real, a tsunami, earth quake, volcanic eruption,
gamma ray burst, and many other disasters may happen today, or in the next 1000
years, but they will happen. But god won’t come to save us. He made us capable
enough to fight for our existence. He made us conscious, aware of the facts.
But humanity is blinded from
the truth, everybody is obsessed with material possessions, becoming slaves of
sex and greed, having no purpose for there existence.
Everything which has a Beginning, has an End. So our
Earth is also destined for an End. End of Days is inevitable, but nobody can
actually predict the exact Time of it.
But Humanity must prepare for the worst.
