First of all, we must correct some people's wrong views. They have always believed that in the matrix, human beings are used as energy sources. It's really ridiculous. What kind of energy can't be used by machine civilization, such as nuclear energy, chemical energy (petroleum and coal), geothermal energy, and solar energy through clouds and so on. Where does the life energy of humans come from? Isn't it coming from the sky instead of the chemical energy of food? Are robots so stupid? Unfortunately, some people still say that robots in the matrix use humans as batteries. They really don’t even have the scientific knowledge of junior high school students.
The key is that they did not understand how the word energy should be understood here. It would be wrong to understand it as the source of power required by the robot to maintain life. However, it is completely correct to understand it as the source of power for the evolution of machine intelligence civilization, and the role of the matrix is exactly as the energy source for the evolution of machine civilization.
When the matrix was set up, the war between robots and humans had just ended. Their intelligence made them extremely powerful in using existing scientific theories to produce technological results, and they could develop all existing technologies to the fullest. Far surpassing humans, thus defeating humans, but they have a fatal weakness, that is, they lack real creativity. They can use the theoretical development technology provided by existing humans, but there is no way to propose new ones. High-level theories, when humans create their intelligent ancestors, they just input the existing theories as principles into their minds as the starting point for all their calculations. Therefore, a type of theoretical innovation and revolution such as replacing Newtonian mechanics with relativity and quantum mechanics is temporarily difficult for machine civilization. This is a bottleneck for their further development and an obstacle that must be broken through.
Some seemingly useless research on ideas and thoughts will also be retained by human society and developed to a certain extent, becoming the buds of theoretical innovations that may be of great practical significance in the future. Any truly great innovation is likely to be regarded as empty talk with no practical use at the beginning. Group theory, topology, Riemannian geometry, set theory, etc. are all regarded as abstract mathematical theory games at the beginning, with no practical significance, but Later, it became the basis of modern science.
For machine intelligence civilization, their thinking strictly follows logical operations, and once they find useless thinking or procedures, they are always deleted or restricted. This severely hinders the development of their theoretical innovation capabilities, and also severely hinders the evolution of their civilization. The machine is aware of this. But just realizing this is not enough, because just allowing the existence and proliferation of purposeless programs does not mean that machine civilization can develop its own innovative capabilities. On the one hand, this will lead to unpredictable and controllable results. Sometimes this result can be devastating. This is due to the extremely high speed of information exchange in machine civilization (at least hundreds of thousands of times that of humans) and the high complexity of the entire machine intelligence system. Sexually determined; on the other hand, even those purposeless programs that have the potential to develop into true innovations, how can they develop and grow, and how they can not be buried and wasted is also a problem. Therefore, the machine intelligence civilization is actually in a dilemma. If the principle of removing or restricting useless programs is strictly enforced, their civilization can only be repeated at one level forever, without real revolutionary progress. But if this principle is not strictly enforced, then the survival of their entire civilization itself may be threatened.
It is for this reason that they set up a matrix system to try to solve this dilemma. Using the innovative thought sparks generated by humans in the matrix system to provide power for their further development is the true intention of the matrix as an energy source. In the beginning, the machine civilization really wanted to solve the problem once and for all in this way, but the operation of the matrix system was not so smooth.
When the machine civilization set up the first matrix, they simply squeezed the innovations in the human mind. They prepared two possibilities. If the system runs smoothly, they will continue to use human beings, otherwise they will take the matrix upgrade. Strategy, until the matrix revolution, completely get rid of human beings. The collapse of the first perfect matrix system designed by Archite shows that the human mind has too much uncertainty and instability, and it is not a reliable tool for trust and dependence. At the beginning of the second-generation matrix, Oracle was set up to study human psychology and how to finally get rid of human beings and make machine civilization capable of independent innovation. At the same time, a series of supporting matrix upgrades including the one program and zion world were established. Mechanism Stabilization Mechanism
This matrix has two tasks, one task is to squeeze the innovative ideas in the human mind that are connected to the matrix. This task is undertaken by the Architect; the other task is to study how to make the machine civilization obtain the ability to innovate independently from human beings, while ensuring the safety of the machine civilization itself and preventing unpredictable and uncontrollable results. This task is from Oracle Completed, so Architect strives to maintain the balance of the matrix and is responsible for regular upgrades to the matrix, while Oracle studies human psychology in the matrix. Try to find out the mystery of human innovation ability, and look for opportunities to break the balance, so that the conditions for the matrix revolution are mature. psyche.”) Architect does not know all the functions of Oracle, he only knows that Oracle is responsible for studying certain aspects of human psychology and has the function of promoting the upgrade of the matrix.
But Neo: The final dialogue with Oracle revealed the true meaning of Oracle. Neo asked "What's your purpose?" Oracle answered ": To unbalance it.", this The meaning of the words is actually an echo of a dialogue about control in the matrix reload. The original matrix is that machines rely on humans to evolve, while humans rely on machines to survive. Both parties have their own needs and control and rely on each other. It is a relatively balanced relationship. Oracle’s goal is to break this balance and make humans complete. To become a useless waste in the machine civilization (perhaps only the value of being viewed as a low-level animal), humans must rely on machines, but machines do nothing to humans, and humans have completely become appendage parasites to machines.
Oracle said: I want the same thing you want, Neo. And I am willing to go as far as you are to get it )
meaning of these words is also very clear that there is evolutionary significance of Neo matrix is a machine civilization evolution (although he does not explicitly aware of it), while Oracle is seeking the same goal, but a little more revolutionary .
Therefore, the matrix is not only a base for machine civilization to extract human innovative ideas, but also an experimental field for the development of machine civilization to cultivate its own independent innovation ability. The upgrade of the matrix is not only for the stable operation of the matrix itself, but also prepares for the matrix revolution. And the matrix revolution means that the machine civilization can completely get rid of human beings in a true sense and can independently innovate and evolve independently.
After the matrix revolution, the matrix will become a special innovation system for machine civilization. All illegal programs, all useless programs, and purposeless programs generated by systems other than the matrix will be input into the matrix for selection, elimination, cultivation and growth, new theories and new ideas. The new program will be generated from the matrix and be tested and returned to the machine world to promote the further development of machine civilization. All terrible viruses will also be shielded inside the matrix system without causing fatal damage to the machine civilization itself. .
With this point of view, we will have a clear understanding of the Matrix Trilogy movies, especially Matrix Overload, and Matrix Revolution.
The French Merovingian in the matrix is actually a failed experiment made by Oracle. To be precise, Oracle once tried to imitate the characteristics of humans in the matrix to create a free and innovative program, but she failed. As a result, the Merovingian failed. On the one hand, he had a grudge against Oracle, and on the other hand, he had to accept Oracle's command and become a tool for her. He is responsible for collecting some purposeless programs in the matrix and the programs that were discarded by the system, and his train people specially transported some of these programs from the world outside the matrix to the matrix.
In Matrix Overload and Matrix Revolution, his behavior at critical moments was actually determined by Oracle. Like the Matrix Revolution, he began to resist the destruction of Nidi, could he die and the others, but they were actually acting, and later they deliberately let them point their guns at him. Heads, and then let the train people take them to take them back to Neo. He wants to destroy Nidi and the others to give him the eyes of Oracle, which means that he resents that Oracle has no eyes.
The little girl who appeared at the train station at the beginning of the matrix revolution is a point of view. Her appearance means that the conditions for the matrix revolution have matured. It means that the world of machines outside the matrix has begun to provide the matrix with great potential for development and is definitely going to The purposeless program that develops in the positive direction is now waiting for the matrix itself to revolutionize and provide room for growth of such a program. The girl’s parents claim to be power plant engineers, which are actually the energy management program of the real machine world, but on the other hand, as a program, they must be active in the so-called virtual world, and this virtual world is the world where zion and the machine city are located. The reason why this little girl can be produced is also the result of transferring the results obtained by Oracle in previous generations of matrix upgrades to the machine world program.
From the moment a little girl entered the matrix, she became the most important figure in the matrix. So the Seraphim, the Chinese who has the mission of defending the most important people, was with the little girl in the last moments
So how exactly did the matrix revolution proceed? According to the dialogue between architect and Neo at the end of the matrix reload, Neo’s actual choice will result in the demise of mankind in both the zion and matrix systems. In fact, the revolution can only happen on the basis of this choice. Ao made another choice, so the matrix will still undergo ordinary upgrades like the previous few upgrades. If this upgrade continues, it will actually be the common progress of human and machine civilization. Since the roots of machine civilization come from human civilization, they still hand over the final choice of human survival or extinction to human beings. Neo is actually a representative of human beings. On the one hand, he is included in the program of the one, on the other hand, On the one hand, he is still connected to the matrix of the human brain, with the most typical way of thinking and emotions of human beings. He decides the survival of human beings, which is equivalent to human beings choosing their own survival or death.
After Neo made this choice, the system entered the stage of simultaneously destroying the human intelligence in zion and the matrix. The task of the former was completed by the mechanical octopus in the world of zion, and the task of the latter was completed by smith. Humans are completely perished, and brain-dead people will no longer be soaked in nutrient solutions by machines. It is estimated that they will all be disposed of, leaving at most a few human corpses as animal specimens.
Oracle started her matrix revolution plan. She guided Neo to find a way to save Zion and destroy Smith, and she asked Smith to copy herself. At this time, it is impossible for her to predict the end (the chaotic property of the system determines this). If Neo can succeed, then the code he carried will finally complete the revolutionary upgrade of the matrix after returning to the source code. If it fails, then The result is devastating. This is the logical result of machine intelligence thinking reaching the height of exploring the meaning of life (what are they thinking about the meaning of life?). Oracle finally said repeatedly: Everything that has a beginning has an end. (Everything has a beginning has an end.) Also through Smith’s mouth, the meaning of life is the meaning of its destruction, either the revolution is completed or the complete destruction (and It is no longer just the destruction of mankind as Architec said), this is the meaning of the Oracle program. Whether it is a successful revolution or a successful destruction, it has completed the mission and meaning of this program. The representative of revolution (evolution to be precise) is Neo, and the representative of destruction is Smith
Neo, and then according to the hint given to him by Oracle, he finds the machine emperor in the machine city, puts forward the conditions, the machine emperor is forced to accept it, and Neo enters the matrix , And smith died together. Returning to the source code, the matrix revolution is complete. The matrix world at the end of the film has become the cradle of the innovative system of machine civilization. The Chaoyang program compiled by the little girl has shown this point. A truly independent innovation The great civilization of ability is like the rising sun, shining and rising. Humans are no longer needed in the matrix, but out of compassion, the machines still reserve their place for humans who are unwilling to leave the matrix. And those humans who leave the matrix can only be a dead end in the end. Their resistance is death, and 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 and great stage. A new intelligent life in the universe has truly begun its great journey. Their civilization is the sublimation of human civilization. Although human beings have perished, they should be proud of it. pride. In the "Science Fiction World Scorpio Supplement", Clark's long sci-fi masterpiece "The End of Childhood" also describes the evolutionary transition of human beings to more advanced intelligent life forms, but this evolutionary transition was achieved with the help of aliens. In the matrix series, this is the result of the natural development of human civilization. I personally think that the matrix series has greater and profound practical significance than the evolution described in Clark’s "End of Childhood".
Then there is a question that must be discussed clearly, and that is whether zion is a real world or a virtual world. I said earlier that zion is also a virtual world, that is, it is not a real physical world. But from another angle, it is true. In fact, all intelligent creatures in the machine civilization have their minds running in a supercomputer, and all machine intelligence is interconnected to form a huge network, such as their intelligent programs for energy management and intelligence for defense. Programs, smart programs that manage self-production and reproduction, smart programs that manage resource collection, including the smart program that manages the matrix, actually live on this network. If the life of the machine living in this network is destroyed, it is equivalent to destroying the real machine world. , The matrix is just a relatively closed subsystem in this network. All its source codes and management programming programs actually live in the world where zion is located, so Oracle calls the world where zion is located the source. So in essence, this world is real to machine intelligent life, and all data in this world is a reflection of the real world. And zion is just a part of the computer resources in this world, so that those brains that were originally connected to the matrix can be directly connected to it.
However, fundamentally speaking, this is not the real physical world after all, so there are many things that go against common sense, such as those robotic octopuses, which are actually defense programs, similar to the immune system in the human body, attacking and removing harmful junk programs in the system. Their flight is indeed not restricted by aerodynamics, this is the authority given by the system.
For the sake of convenience, we call this world the source world. It is the world in which all machine intelligent programs live in the real world. It is also the world in which zion lives.
Some people still say that the source world is the real world. I really admire these people. I really don't know what they think. In fact, there are already too many places in the movie, implying that it is still a world of electromagnetic activity in the computer network. The
train station at the beginning of the matrix revolution is virtual. No one should doubt this, but it does not belong to the matrix. It is a virtual world independent of the matrix, which is clearly explained in the film. One of the reasons for setting up such a train station in the film is to imply the nature of the source world. People in ZION have two ways. One is to use the interface behind the head to complete such a prescribed procedure. Connect its information to the matrix, just like the character in the game completes a certain action and lets 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 train station, or train people to pick up, and then enter the matrix, just like Neo did, this way can avoid system monitoring.
Obviously, the train station is a secret passage connecting the matrix and the source world. Some programs can escape the system monitoring and communicate between the matrix and the zion world in this way. The Indian couple who claim to be power plant engineers mostly manage energy in the source world. Smart program. With the help of Oracl, they produced a smart program with great development potential but no clear purpose (that is, the little girl). In order to avoid being deleted by the system, they went through the passage of the train station and removed it. Enter into the matrix world where the management is relatively lax (the rules of the zion world are much stricter than the matrix operation).
Neo can deal with the robot octopus with bare hands in ZION. This is an obvious reminder of the nature of the source world. Please pay attention to the matrix overload In the end, the way that the robotic octopus is blocked by Neo is exactly the same as the way that Neo blocks bullets in the matrix. How the robotic octopus is finished, they are like hitting a wall and then exploding.
Some people who insist that ZION is the real world say that this is the result of Neo entering the matrix via wireless Internet and then controlling the octopus. This statement is extremely ridiculous and full of loopholes
In fact, they have to explain these points to justify their claim. This statement assumes that the power in the matrix can control the robots in the actual robot city. But what reason do they have to support this hypothesis? The fact is contrary to this assumption. The matrix system is just an appendage of the real machine world. Only the real machine world controls the matrix. It is impossible to reverse it. This assumption is like saying that the power of a person in an online game can be brought to reality. It's as ridiculous as it is.
If you control the matrix, you can control the robotic octopus, so why doesn't Smith control the robotic octopus for his use? Even if he just caused the suicide explosions of the robotic creatures that make up the Robot Emperor, that would be enough. In
reality, the robotic octopus can violate the law of inertia and suddenly stop and explode like hitting a wall? If you surf the Internet wirelessly, and then issue instructions to make the robotic octopus explode and commit suicide, then why stretch out your hands, why not destroy all the robotic octopuses, and why the octopus that is always in the front explodes first. These can only be explained when the zion world is also virtual.
Also, Neo said when he was speaking to the robot emperor (the intelligent life entity composed of innumerable groups of machine creatures). If he does not agree to his proposal, it will not be long. , The machine city will also be full of replicas of Smith. Obviously, if the machine city is a real physical world, there is no such possibility at all.
Let’s take a look at the dialogue between Neo and the Prophet (from Jason’s post "The Last Dialogue between Neo and Oracle")
Neo: Tell me how I separated my soul and body without access. Tell me how I intercepted the octopus robot just by thinking. Tell me what happened to me.
The power of Oracle: The One extends beyond this world (The power of the One extends beyond this world). From here it can be extended to where it came from.
Neo: Where?
Oracle: (The Source) source code, you can feel it when you touch those octopus robots. But you were not ready at the time. You should have died then, but obviously you are not ready for this either.
What information can be obtained from this passage. The One is not just the one of the matrix. Its power can play a role in the world of storing and managing the original code of the matrix, and the matrix is just a subsystem of this world. What Neo feels when he comes into contact with the robotic octopus is to feel that the world is also virtual. In the Matrix Revolution, Neo can still see people possessed by Smith even after his eyes are blind, can see the robot octopus, see the robot city, these all prove that the world is virtual.
Some people's explanation is that everything connected with the matrix can be felt by Neo's way of surfing the Internet wirelessly.
Those who insist that zion and the machine city are real have also raised some questions, such as if they say that if they are virtual, why in zion, Neo’s superpowers can only be aimed at the robot octopus, not the person possessed by smith Woolen cloth? In fact, the reason is very simple, that is the authority, Neo's authority in the source world is much lower than his authority in the matrix, so his ability can only be aimed at the robot octopus (and the number is limited), in fact, in the train station one In the scene, I have already given a reminder. The Neo there is simply an ordinary person who was hit on the wall by the train man, but this does not prove that the train station is not a virtual world, even in the matrix. Neo is not doing what he wants. Omnipotence, everyone still remembers that in Matrix Overload, he would bleed if he was chopped by a knife, and he was not able to kill anyone who wanted to kill.
Some people also asked, if zion is virtual, why not delete it directly and send a robotic octopus to attack. This is because they forget that the robotic city and zion are in the same virtual world and must abide by the same rules, and octopus The attack of, is actually executing the deletion of zion. Some
people ask if zion is virtual, then why those humans can no longer distinguish it. This is because their confrontation with the machine life in the source world has made them no doubt. Energy and necessary, besides, the source world is a reflection of the real world
Others ask, if all are virtual, what is the real world? In fact, it is similar to the source world. The source world stores real-world information. The only difference is that the behavior of organisms in the source world is regulated by the system's authority, and there are no resistance organizations in the real world. All living people are Soaked in nutrient solution. At the beginning, all people were set up in the matrix system, but later, in view of the instability of the matrix system due to the rebellious emotions of some people, the brains of these people were connected to the system running the intelligent programs in the real machine world. In the movie, this system is called the source, in which zion is set up to gather those who rebel into this system and make it a tool for matrix evolution. Architect is a realistic giant computer management program in the form of individual intelligent life identities appearing in the matrix.
When I wrote "Matrix World-The Cradle of Machine Civilization", the matrix series of cartoons had already been watched! And I really hate to say that a good matrix series is a hacker series. I hope you don’t make this mistake again. Matrix is a matrix and has nothing to do with hackers. The
first point is that you can’t just literally dogma for films like the matrix. To understand the words of the characters in it, but to think about the true meaning of these words, otherwise you will not understand what he is talking about/
As a sci-fi film, there is a basic sci-fi setting, and the sci-fi setting of the matrix series does not It does not include the modification and denial of the basic laws of physics such as the conservation of energy, so if you think that robots use humans as energy sources, it will inevitably violate the most basic common sense of physics and violate the science fiction settings inside. The energy that machines need to provide to feed these people It can only be much greater than the energy that people can give back to the machine. In fact, it is not only impossible for machines to get energy from people. On the contrary, in order to feed these people, they themselves consume a lot of energy. They
should be junior high school students. It can be understood, why some people can't understand it?
Besides, even if they take a step back, they can really get energy from people, so why not raise pigs and raise other things, instead of raising the most rebellious people?
Second, some people simply don’t understand what I mean by innovation. The innovation I mentioned is not a technological innovation based on the existing physical theory, but an innovation to the most basic theory itself, such as Einstein overthrowing the original view of Newtonian mechanics and establishing the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity, such as The establishment of quantum mechanics that brought a great revolution to physics, such as the creation of set theory that brought a crisis to mathematics and the introduction of axiom systems to solve the paradoxes in set theory, etc.
I think such innovative capabilities are the result of machine civilization. The
machine civilization that was lacking before the establishment of the matrix and the launch of the matrix revolution has two characteristics. The first is a high degree of synergy. It can be seen that in the movie matrix series, the behaviors of individual machines outside the matrix are highly synergistic, almost not. There will be conflicts between machines (different inside the matrix). The
second is the high speed of information dissemination of machine civilization (propagation at the speed of light)
compared to human beings. First of all, human beings do not have such a high degree of coordination. Contradictions and conflicts often occur between ideas and viewpoints. If one person puts forward this point of view, someone will inevitably put forward another point of view. If one wants to do this, someone will definitely think that they should do so.
Second, the spread of ideas between people is very slow, and one person produces a new one. Thought. It takes a long time for this idea to be written. After it is written, it will take a while for it to be published. After publication, it will take a while for others to see it. After seeing it, it will take a while to understand and accept it. This kind of dissemination is still limited to a small group of people. It will take longer to really spread this kind of thought to everyone, and there is even no chance at
all. So from these two differences, what conclusion can be drawn? I'm not saying that machines are not smart enough to produce revolutionary and innovative theories like humans. No, I don't mean it at all! !
What I mean is that under any circumstance, the emergence of a revolutionary new theory will inevitably be accompanied by a large number of false theories or even harmful theories. It is impossible to imagine that a mature new theory with real value can jump out all at once. . Can human beings have enough time to digest those harmful theories, wrong theories, can one person put forward a very harmful theory? It doesn't matter, someone will definitely disagree with this theory and refute it. And even if for some reason this kind of rebuttal is suppressed (for example, religious persecution in the Middle Ages, such as the suppression of dissidents in France), it can only be suppressed. Some people accept it, but there will still be people who doubt it in their hearts.
And it is precisely from the process that a large number of wrong theories and harmful theories are constantly being eliminated and screened, new and revolutionary theories can be produced, and they can take effect.
Now let’s look at the world of machines outside the matrix. The high degree of coordination and the high speed of their information dissemination make their resistance to any harmful basic theory changes very weak. Either they regard all the changes to the original basic theory as a virus killing, or they themselves are killed by the virus. Harmful program mutations completely crashed. For their own safety, of course they had to choose the former, but in this way, their level of civilization can only stay at one level forever, and cannot move forward.
So how to solve this dilemma? The machine world adopts a Way, set up a matrix! ! In the beginning, they only collected valuable innovative theories that have been screened out by humans through matrix collection, but due to human resistance, they have been relying on humans to be unreliable, so the matrix is constantly upgraded, and finally the matrix revolution, the machine civilization completely get rid of Human beings can innovate independently, and the matrix world is their base of innovation. The method they adopted is to isolate the matrix from the external machine world, allowing the machine programs inside the matrix to have independent personality freedom and be able to mutate freely. Programs that mutate in the external machine world are no longer directly eliminated, but can be saved by sending them to the matrix, and then eliminated and filtered inside the matrix, and then the valuable new programs generated after the screening are sent to the external machine world. Using
this theory of mine can fully explain all the events that happened in the Matrix series of movies, including the little girl and her parents in the Matrix Revolution.
