Maybe not necessarily. It is possible that neo is in fact not human, but a program, but the "Zion World" is not another Matrix. If Agent Smoth can "download" himself into a human brain, then Neo, could be a program living inside a human body.
Perhaps I'm clutching at staws here.
Neo destoying the squidies really shocked me, and I can see the feeling is shared by many. As a result of this, we are left with, as far as I can see, two possibilities:
Neo has super powers outside of the matrix. I really hope this is not true, and I really doubt it will be.
The Matirx within a Matrix idea. I really hate this idea too...reminds me far too much of the
terrible, terrible eXistenZ (sp?). God that film was awful! However this idea seems to be the most likely "answer" that we will recieve with Revolutions.
Another slightly far-fetched possibility follows the Neo is a program logic, which can run concurrently within the matrix and within Neo's brain, so the program inside the Matrix destroyed the squidies (which are presumably also connected to the Matrix in some form). Of course for this to work it would require either some form of communication between the biological program and the digital program, or else it would require
really streching the whole predeterminism thing.

Fast forward. Keymaker gets shot, bleeds. I thought Keymaker was a program, so why would he be bleeding?

The programs are talking the form of people, and so bleed like all people would. The point he was making about Neo bleeding is that despite his super speed abilites, and is inhuman strength and his ability to fly....he is still just a human, and can be killed, if only they can get a blow in...which they do....except its only a graze.
