This is something I mentioned in the other Matrix post:
I was confused when the architect mentioned Zion had happened before. With Neos predicators before him eliminating Zion except for a few. After hearing what other s thought about the Matrix within a Matrix it started to give me this impression-
The architect stated the Matrix was running efficiently; post the perfect world that didn’t take. But as with any computer for various reasons anomalies happen. Kind of like when you don’t defrag you hard drive shit starts happening. Zion could be a cache of “anomalies” or weaknesses in the Matrix from lack of maintenance with people awakening whether in physical or mental form doesn’t matter. As the cache becomes full or even dangerous to the machines an entity like neo representing a trusted savior unknowingly clears the cache, defrags the fragmented beings, or in other words destroys Zion. Just as the architect stated has been done numerous times before. The Matrix within the Matrix explains Neos ability to destroy the sentinels.
It also seems like the Oracle is trying to tell him that’s its her purpose to guide him there, and also stating and emphasizing the everything has a purpose; Neos purpose is also laid out. It doesn’t make her evil just is how her program runs.
The fact that Neo may have done something unexpected like collide with another program “Smith” could have caused a Smith virus; that’s how he is multiplying. It also would explain that since they are still in the Matrix how he is in the guy at the end. It’s obvious he has his own agenda, much like a virus.
If this is the case my big question is this; picking a time like the 90s the machines should know that humans will continue to progress; leaving a need for a Zion cache; but why not pick a simpler time when people aren’t going to give as much of a problem. Like say the middle ages? If energy is the central focus.
