AI wars?

[robinturner]

Has anyone else come up with the theory that the war in the Matrix films is not between humans and AIs, but between AIs, with (at least) one AI being on the human side? We know that there are rogue AIs in the Matrix, but I suspect the Zion mainframe is an AI, or the tool of one. Look at Second Renaissance - the narrator sounds like much more than a simple avatar, more like some kind of Buddhist AI.

it is a quadrilema... I suppose we can look to the Heart Sutra :)

Which one's the Heart Sutra? hehe

Quadrilema exactly. you've got the open ended nature of the reality outside the matrix and the artificial zion earth, from which the AIs originate from. And yet to fully know the nature of the AIs you need to know their environment...

Is it necessary to know that environment? I mean Neo and the rest exist interchangeably in the Zion earth and the Matrix, and we can know them quite well...

does anyone else agree that the earth/zion is another matrix like environment?

Well zion seems to be the only inhabitable enviroment
since the rest of the worl is shrouded in darkness
so keeping all the people in one place for accountability
definately sounds like control
