How cool are the Twins!
I wonder who created their programe? whether it was Merv, or a machine, does anyone know what their original purpose was for?

I think Merv probably wrote that their programe, maybe as a tracer programe, to find other exile programes..

The twins were not created by the Merovingian, I'm pretty sure they were created by the Architect, but were exiled for some reason. Merovingian now uses them as his henchmen, and they tried to recapture the Keymaker when he escaped.

well yea, i no what Merv uses them for, but where do u get the idea that the Architect have created them? he has One purpose, to construct a perfect Matrix, a simple Mathmatitian. I see no evidence as to your theory. I refer ya to my original point.... what was their intented purpose? Who would write such a programe for that purpose,,,,, surely if it is to find exiles....... then Merv benifts from that, so... it would seem plausible that He wrote their programe....? would it not?

The twins came from an earlier version of the matrix..before Neo, and the events in the movies....they were then exiled because they served no purpose in the newer versions of the matrix that the Architect created. The Merovingian saved the twins from being deleted and used them for his own purpose.

hhmm, how strange, no one seems to understand or answer my question?
1) i wonder who created the Twins's programe?
2) i wonder what their original programe was created for

We all know the Merv, traffic's exiles. We all know Merv writes codes. We all know that all of Merv's Henchmen, came from earlier versions, oz of their brutal nature.

My opinion is that I thought it's possible that Merv may have written their programe. I just wanted to hear what other people thought....
Splinter, u thought the Architect wrote their programe yea... Im asking you, why & how, did u come to believe this?

I understood your question just fine, arms. The Architect created EVERYTHING in the matrix, every bit of code, except for the actual humans inserted into it. That was his purpose, to create the matrix and make sure it balanced. So therefore, he created the twins, and every other non-human creature in the matrix. We do not know exactly what the twins were created for, maybe as some form of a mythical creature in a previous matrix. I came to believe/know this by what is said in the movies by the Architect himself. Listening is a beautiful thing.

Now, I've answered this question three times, so If you're still not satisfied, perhaps you are asking the wrong people. Most people on this board would agree with what I just said.

Arms, what Splint is trying to tell you is that they were created in one of the seven (?) iterations of the matrix previously.

If Constructs of the Matrix Online are to be taken as Matrix Canon, then I think there is a Construct based on a previous Matrix that is more Medieval Style.

If you remember what the Oracle says in Reloaded, every story of Vampires, Werewolves and Aliens (interestingly two of these are in MXO) are all the system trying to explain things that should not be happening, which in turn is an effort to maintain stability of the Matrix. This being one level of control implies that it is out of the Architect's control, and that these exile programs are elements that become more active (perhaps when The One whas been found), and are one of the things that the reinsertion of the One protocols helps to balance.

Taken to the next level, the Architect knows that the system tries to balance itself, otherwise would not be able to explain it to Neo when they meet. That means the Smith Virus, presumably in some other form, would have propogated in previous versions.
Neo, having to reach the keymaker, who the Merovingian would capture, as a useful tool, would have to go through the process as previous "One"s would have done. Perhaps, it can be said that the Merovingian is another form of control, though, like Smith, he does not realise his purpose, and everything that Merv possesses, and is, is all planned by the Architect.
Therefore, the Twins were coded to assist the Merovingian Program to capture and maintain control of the Keymaker, so that the One at that iteration would discover deeper secrets of the Matrix, and hence, be more willing to save it, to save humanity.

After that digression, we return to the original purpose of the Twins. It is impossible to say what this could have been, without asking Larry and Andy. However, thinking of the abilities they possess, they can move through walls and other items (clipping is turned off hehe), we could imagine that their original purpose could be akin to agents, in different iterations of the Matrix (stealthy assassins that appear everywhere), or perhaps they might be monitoring programs, observing the functionality of other programs.

Regardless, it can be assumed that the Architect created them, or if not they were created in 01, and like Sati and Ramachandra, they adopted forms in the matrix, theirs being ghostlike. Sati had powers related to her parents' function, perhaps the ghostly aspect would be of a virus protection program or maybe another monitoring program.

I know this film too well. And no I dont play MXO. Hope I helped
