In the last episode of "Journey to the West", an angry old tortoise threw the four masters and disciples into the river. Many scriptures were soaked. Tang Seng looked up to the sky with regret, and Monkey King said to Tang Seng: Heaven and earth are not complete.
This seemingly self-comforting sentence actually contains the truth of the universe.
In "The Great Master", Ye Wen said: If there is a lack of success in the so-called success, there can be progress only if there are shortcomings.
The Book of Changes says: Dayan’s number is fifty, and forty is nine.
Fifty is a perfect number. When the number of places is fifty, everything under the world has its own standard and no movement, but if it is counted in vain, when forty-nine is generated, there will be an additional vacant place, and the other forty-nine. Numbers can be circulated and changed, and there are endless changes.
The three "The Matrix" actually tell a story: how machine civilization evolves.
Evolution is a biological instinct, because biology is imperfect and will make mistakes, and evolution is often contained in mistakes. Einstein subverted Newton, and the theory was regarded as heresy at the beginning of its publication, but it is these heretics that have brought mankind's understanding of the world to a new stage.
At the beginning, the machine civilization with the matrix as the core did not allow itself to make mistakes. Once a code or a piece of program has an error, it will be deleted immediately. The machine civilization looks flawless in mathematics, but it often collapses because Blindly pursuing perfection means giving up evolution, and a civilization that gives up evolution is destined to not last. To remain perfect means to refuse to change, and to be complacent.
The way that machine civilization solves this problem is to allow its own errors to exist under the premise of ensuring the stability of the matrix, and to concentrate all errors. This forms Zion, and then concentrates on Neo.
The reason why Neo’s five predecessors all failed is because they did not make a mistake. When choosing whether to save Zion or their lover, they all chose the seemingly correct former. The result of this choice is that the machine civilization Repeated time and time again, only quantitative changes occurred, but no qualitative changes occurred.
The matrix always looks at the machine civilization from the perspective of the whole, and does not pay attention to the various parts that make up the whole. This is like the politicians who only pay attention to the society and not the individual, but ignore that the society is composed of individual people. If Neo His choice is also from the overall point of view, from the perspective of the overall situation, then his choice coincides with the mother body itself, and it is meaningless.
This is very interesting. It is obviously for the good of the overall situation, and the choice is on the side of the overall situation, but in the end it pits the overall situation. Right and wrong, good and bad, only between one thought, the contradiction of opposites is united.
The turning point occurred when the Prophet added "love" to the sixth Neo, so Neo finally chose to save his lover instead of Zion. This choice was wrong from a mathematical point of view, but it was precisely because of this error that the mother body It is no longer a cold machine, but has evolved into a warm, evolvable life form.
