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

  • [Neo sees a black cat walk by them, and then a similar black cat walk by them just like the first one]

    Neo: Whoa. Déjà vu.

    [Everyone freezes right in their tracks]

    Trinity: What did you just say?

    Neo: Nothing. Just had a little déjà vu.

    Trinity: What did you see?

    Cypher: What happened?

    Neo: A black cat went past us, and then another that looked just like it.

    Trinity: How much like it? Was it the same cat?

    Neo: It might have been. I'm not sure.

    Morpheus: Switch! Apoc!

    Neo: What is it?

    Trinity: A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

  • [on the war that devastated the Real World]

    Morpheus: We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.
