Re: Question about scene in The Matrix Reloaded
This actually has nothing to do with programming (they just used fancy computer-sounding terms because it's a movie about being inside a computer), but I decided to not delete your post for three reasons:
1. I'm sick of doing CS homework for High-School girls.
2. That's a good movie.
3. This one of the few articulate posts we have.
As for your question: as I recall (I've only seen the movie once), that scene was about the Architect explaining to Neo that he is, in fact, not the only one to have been the "one;" he's had several predecessors. The purpose of "the one" is to carry around all this glitchy code caused by people choosing not to live in the Matrix (these people are moved to Zion) and, when Zion becomes too populated and the robots exterminate them, to choose a new small group of people to repopulate Zion and allow the humans to live their happy and ignorant existence.
At this point, Neo was supposed to fly back to the robots and reattach himself to the Matrix, so they could reanalyze the glitchy code (or something along those lines); however, he chose to save Trinity, thereby dooming the entire human race instead.
I would have been more satisfied if all the humans died and the series ended there :D.
Hope that helps!
