Recorded to pave the way for 2 and 3

The first point [consciousness and body] is to assume that all the consciousness of brain perception comes from the codification of information. There is a question raised by mouse in the computer man: how does the computer know whether the vastly different signal flow generated by the individual perception is preserving its diversity to pass on or just a single code stream to the computer man. For example, if you eat a bowl of cereal in the morning, a think the taste is close to corn mush. b felt close to a tuna sandwich. But which one does the code flow choose? Another reason is the juiciness and tender texture of beef.

The second point [bending the spoon] The children said that you should not try to bend the spoon with your mind and you should not see the spoon to change yourself. My superficial understanding is that the spoon - the eye sees the spoon - produces a stream of information that contains all the information of the spoon - passes to the brain - produces perception. And we can intervene in this process. We can tamper with the information flow or even cut off the information flow in the process of transmitting the information to the brain. What the brain receives is that the spoon is bent or there is no spoon. This process of intervention is difficult to achieve in our real world, but in the computer-human setting, it can be changed by changing the procedure of code transmission in the virtual world. And the virtual world is an interactive virtual dream world constructed by the matrix. There is a question here whether consciousness can react to the outside, i.e. whether I change my consciousness (I think the spoon is curved) can really change the real world whether the spoon is curved or not or who can really be sure that there is a spoon in reality, the existence of objects is related to Does it also depend on our consciousness?

The Matrix quotes

  • Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

  • Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

    [Neo's eyes suddenly wander towards a woman in a red dress]

    Morpheus: Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

    Neo: I was...

    Morpheus: [gestures with one hand] Look again.

    [the woman in the red dress is now Agent Smith, pointing a gun at Neo's head; Neo ducks]

    Morpheus: Freeze it.

    [Everybody and everything besides Neo and Morpheus freezes in time]

    Neo: This... this isn't the Matrix?

    Morpheus: No. It is another training program designed to teach you one thing: if you are not one of us, you are one of them.
