Stupid Questions

Alright, bear with me, I've only just seen Reloaded, and I'm still somewhat confused.

Why do the machines allow Xion to exist? If this version of the Matrix is the best thus far, except that 1% of the humans reject it, then why does the Matrix allow those 1% to live in Xion? They've destroyed Xion many times, but they let the humans rebuild, why?

Initially I was under the assumption that we didn't know how many "ones" came before Neo, but everyone on these boards seems to come to the consensus that Neo is the sixth "one". I guess this comes from the quote about this being the "sixth version of the matrix". However, I was under the assumption that the first version was the perfect matrix that failed miserably, and subsequent matrices were improvements (or upgrades if you prefer) until they reached the current Matrix, version 6. It is in this version 6 that 99% of the human comply with the Matrix, but 1% reject it. So from that, I would assume that it is impossible to say how many "ones" came before Neo (unless the architect said something about it, which I may have forgot about).

Also, is the program "The Oracle" the reason that version 6 works? Because she seeks out "the one" and sets him on this path to essentially "reboot" Xion? But that leads back to the question of why the machines let Xion exist in the first place?

Ugh, I love these movies, but I feel so confused. I definately need to see Reloaded again.

Okay, found a lot of my answers here: http://www.matrixreloaded.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2247

do you know the name of the ship in which neo works?

Nebacanezer, although I'm not sure how to spell it.

Nebuchadnezzar

You pronounce it as:

neh-buh-ka-neh-zuhr

;)

dood it's pretty obvious that the machines let Zion live because they want the humans to strike back enough so they can destroy them agian and build defense where Zion attacked, they've done it 6 times, they will keep doing it until they are perfect.C:\conor\pics

You lost me...

Thank you because the question was really stupid

The Matrix is Like a game of cat and mouse. Zion and the people of Zion are meant and they have died 5 times before though they do not know it. Neo Morpheus Trinity Niobe Ghost etc are meant to die but they have resisted because neo is the one and there has never been any body like him before.

Think through what you just said, because it makes absolutely no sense. The machines ARE perfect, they can destroy Zion completely at any time, but they choose to rebuild Zion every time. So ask yourself: why?

A game of cat and mouse??? But in this case, the mouse has the power to destroy the cat, and the cat could crush the mouse at any time.

Zion needs to exist for the Matrix to work, read my other posts on the topic here:

Thats right and even though zion is distroyed the mice keep on fighting-this did not happen in the 5 matrix' before.
