I dunno... I reckon, given that the machines have fields of babies not, as yet, plugged into the matrix, and seeing as they've already survived massive losses of power ("whole crops were lost" - Smith in M1), I reckon that the machines could survive a great Smith Invasion... When the Matrix reloads, you're bound to loose a huge percentage of the people plugged in anyway, as when the servers go down, they may wake up.

The machines probably have enough power in reserve to even rebuild the Matrix from the ground up, which would effectively nuke Smith out of the equation.

Unless Smith starts infecting machines plugged into the matrix... THEN theyr'e stuffed.

(sorry for straying...)

Ahhh that catch is that Smith is able to excersis power outside the Matrix now to Smile

We saw how Neo returned his mind to the source to stop the sentinels...

Without wanting to sound like a wet blanket, maybe we should relocate this to a new thread... its becoming more of a Matrix-universe philosophical discussion thingy than little-boxes talk. Very Happy

good point but I guess I was just trying to relate this whole stuff to the actual movie Smile

I wish they would make some updates, but I think we're at a stalemate until we get MLO Sad

Inasmuch as I understand that this whole ARG is Matrix related...

Thus far, it's totally not Matrix related. There are some name hints, some expected connection with the paranormal anomalies noted, and maybe a few other small things - but we're only making the connection because we know that we're supposed to. Thus far, there aren't any communiques from Neo/Trinity/Morpheus or any other unplugged folks.

I've been holding off on making 1:1 correlations with the Matrix until that part of the story appears. And appear it must, otherwise this whole Metacortex thing will simply occur adjacent to the Matrix story - never breaching into that "real" world that the two movies explored.

Which is another possibility.

k i'll ask again.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. What am I missing? Does anyone have the original way it was written at "My Work" and "My Hobbies"? Because I can't tell if I'm looking at something always there or something new.

It's definitely new, as a matter of fact, I think those are second updates already. But I don't have the original texts.

From the first time I encountered that website, it hasn't changed with exception of the research.

Of course, I just started following this on the 9th at about 11 pm.

Yanka I think you're right on it, and those who continuously see the Glitches are the people who are not accepting the program.

The recent update to the Current section cements the importance of the 10 plagues. I wonder if this could be the clue to Beth's password?

Oh, yes, I totally agree with the "glitch" thing. Either the Matrix is breaking down due to the lack of a reload, or it just constantly has these many glitches...either way, Beth is starting to "wake up." In my post, I was trying to figure out why the glitches are the Plagues, specifically. I don't see why they would be, in a literal sense, so I was trying to find the symbolism in it. The idea that it leads to an exodus to freedom sounds very appealing, and relevant in this context. Very Happy

btw, lol, yanka, I love when people end their posts with things like "I just read that over, and I realized that I sound very strange..."

My favorite ending of a post ever, that I just read on TLFC forum, posted by fuse, after a particularly strange Matrix theory: "I know it sounds like I am on drugs, but it makes sense to me and that's all that matters."
Very Happy
