Is the Architect a Machine?

Now is the Architect a program or is actually human. If he was a program then who made him? Let me know..

I think that the architect could have had something to do with either creating the machines, if not he could have made a deal with them like A-poc, in that they let him live a 'free' life in return for helping with writing the code.

However since there have been five previous matrix's it is possible that he wrote the first code, and wrote himself so he could exist after his death.

Although this then opens the question - when he re-sets the matrix what happens to his code? is there a second matrix?

The Architect is the man who created the matrix. He is not a machine. More of a Program like the Oracle.

If u mean a machine as opposed to a human then yeah he is.

But really he's just another program.

kahn, cypher was the traitor.

and of course the architect is a program, he basically says that much.

he was created by the original AI I assume

And who is that AI that gave birth to the matrix???

skynet? :p

i believe the architect is a program, part of the system created by the machine, creator of the matrix. in fact it's explained in second renaissance in animatrix. i believe that machine is the leader of the country zero-one. the films doesn't show his face though

Whoever Architect is Neo made big mistake that he did not kill him. Architect as a creator of Matrix is permanent threat for humans. But I can understand it. There was no time. Trinity was falling down.

Zero-One was nuked back to the stone age, it's just a barren radioactive waist land now. But I suppose the machines could have rebuilt there, because they aren’t tolerant to radioactivity or extreme hot/cold temperatures; however they would not be able to construct any power plants there, because the humans would not survive because of these conditions.

OK...I get it that the Architect is a program...He isnt human.. Was he ever human? And if he wasn't then who created him? There has to be somebody missing in the story...Right?

Do I not get an answer today?






MR.JP

it's been answered. the AI.

Whatever the AI is, it is what has created the machines, the programs, etc. The AI is mentioned in M1, and probably elswhere. no, neo has not met any sort of special AI ruler yet.

Your misunderstanding. The machines are AI (Artificial Intellgence) There is no one machine that controls all of the other machines; Just like there is not one human who controls all of the other humans. Humans created machines who created machines who created machines....who eventually created the architect. It's hard to explain so just watch the Animatrix.

What he said ^^. Many of the machines will be AI, and many of the programs are AI. Not all have to be, but more than one certainly are.

I would say that the Architect is a program, but also more than a regular, standard program such as the Oracle. The Architect is probably more similar to the Queen Bee in a hive. The machines and Matrix programs are all worker bees, and as such have a collective mind. They work for, and are controlled by the Queen Bee.

In fact, one could argue that the Architect is the only truly free sentient machine/program (perhaps outside of the Oracle or Persephone). His AI is obviously the highest, and as we have little reason to believe that there are others like him, it can be assumed that he has complete control over the actions of the other machines/programs.

Of course this is all speculation, but that's my opinion of the role of the Architect.

now, i was just about to set up anew thread asking the very same question.

see, i reckon he is actually human, i also think the oracle is a human, but they both have created a programme of themselves.
they cannt only be programmes because u cant create something that you have been created in.

yeh or they cud b machines, but i reckon they are really humans.:cool:

wot do you think?

But i dont think that we are going to be able to see if they are ever human or not...I mean they may be human the may not be..I dont hik well ever know....And remember when the architect said to Neo that theyll never see each other again? Well they might see each other again..But the architect might be a program later on...Am i wrong?
