I received this as an email. I don't have a link to the orignal source.
1. Errors accumulate in the Matrix. As they accumulate, more and more people
reject the reality of the Matrix.
2. If you just allowed these people to run around the Matrix they'd cause
nothing but trouble. Trouble which would grow exponentially because their
activities would cause other people to reject the Matrix, who would -- in turn
-- cause others to reject the Matrix, and so on.
3. So you create Zion. Zion serves as a release valve. People who wake up from
the Matrix go to Zion. A few of them still kick around and cause problems, but
the majority of people who go to Zion stay in Zion. And in fact, the people who
kick around and cause problems are actually doing you a service because they're
frequently identifying problem cases before they become serious.
4. The Agents serve as a control mechanism. They minimize the damage freed
individuals like Morpheus and Trinity can do.
5. The Prophecy and the War Against the Machines act as further control
mechanisms: They give the people of Zion a goal to strive for a predetermined
road to follow. The Oracle helps to reinforce the Prophecy.
Eventually, though, the errors grow too numerous. More and more people wake up
from the Matrix. And, eventually, you the One emerges. The One can see right
through the workings of the Matrix. He not only "wakes up" to the Matrix, he is
capable of seeing through its fundamental flaw and disassembling it.
That's when the machines move to their end game:
1. An army is mobilized for the destruction of Zion. This will wipe out all of
those people who rejected the reality of the Matrix.
2. Guided by the Prophecy and the Oracle, the One goes on the quest for the Key
Maker, the Door of Light, and the Machine Mainframe.
3. This neatly maneuvers him into his encounter with the Architect, where is
given two choices:
(a) He can choose to enter the Source. Zion will be destroyed, but he will be
allowed to found a new Zion. This restarts the whole cycle (see below).
(b) He can choose to go back into the Matrix. Zion will still be destroyed
(there's nothing he can do to save it). But more than that, the machines will
kill everyone connected to the Matrix -- effectively wiping out humanity.
Essentially, the One is given a carrot ("you'll be able to found a new Zion")
and a stick ("we'll kill everyone if you don't") to make him choose to enter
the Source.
If he does, then following happens:
1. The One's mind will be analyzed and his innate knowledge of the current
Matrix's flaws will be analyzed and used to recompile the Matrix. The new
Matrix will be better. There will be fewer errors. Fewer people will reject the
Matrix. If all goes well, this new Matrix will last longer than the last
Matrix.
2. Zion will be destroyed.
3. The One will be allowed to choose 23 people (16 female, 9 male) from the
Matrix to found a new Zion.
4. The cycle starts over again.
wow its starting to make more sense.
thanks a lot Choi :cool:
i just dont get a few things- why do they have 2 select 23 people.
__ men and __ women. could the number change?!
wow, thanks. i didn´t know that analyzed - thing.

I don't know about the 16 Female 9 Male think, but does it really matter? Actually isn't 9:16 the time on Thomas Andersons alarm clock? I remember hearing that 9/16 (the time on the clock) is Andy's wife's birthday, or something like that.
well well well. what do we have here..
the matrix does not exist..
its all a dream

You must be kidding man
Math is not my favorite but 16+9=25
The One is allowed to choose 23 individuals (16 female, 7 male). Seven male + the One =8 male.
It is ratio 2:1.

I was just building off of somebody else's post. I didn't bother to do the math. Thanks for pointing out My error though.
Lets be intellegent about this and get a direct quote.
"...after which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female 7 male, to rebuild Zion.
-The Architect
it is a 2:1 ratio; however is 16 female as to 8 male (Including The One)
no, no, no, it is 16 female and 9 male
it is! it is! it is!
i heard the arch say that it is!
it is!
it is!
it is!
it is!
it is!
it is!
it is!
*skjuuppid*
What is The Source? The place where programs are born, where they go to die ...what is that? Morpheus mentions that humanity gave birth to AI, when he describes the history of the war to Neo: "A singular consciousness that spawned a whole race of machines." Could this mind still be alive?
a little cd:rom , and huuges of space?:D
ok, ok, i was just kiddin..;)
