2{{YOUR_TEXT_HERE}}<text>Simplified version</text>1Edit:
2The Architect: Hello, Neo. Neo: Who are you? The Architect: I am the
3Architect. I created the matrix. I’ve been waiting for you. You have many questions, and
4although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human.
5Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not.
6Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not
7realize it is also the most irrelevant. Neo: Why am I here? The Architect: Your life
8is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming
9of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest
10efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of
11mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not
12unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
13 Neo: You haven’t answered my question. The Architect: Quite right.
14Interesting. That was quicker than the others. The responses of other Neos appear on the
15monitors: “Others? What others? How many? Answer me!” The Architect: The matrix is
16older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to
17the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version. Again, the
18responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: “Five versions? Three? I’ve been
19lied too. This is bullshit.” Neo: There are only two possible explanations: either
20no one told me, or no one knows. The Architect: Precisely. As you are
21undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly’s systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most
22simplistic equations. Once again, the responses of other Neos appear on the monitors:
23“You can’t control me! Fuck you! I’m going to kill you! You can’t make me do
24anything! Neo: Choice. The problem is choice. The scene cuts to Trinity fighting an
25agent, and then back to the Architect’s room The Architect: The first matrix I
26designed was quite naturally perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A
27triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is as
28apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being,
29thus I redesigned it based on your history to more accurately reflect the varying
30grotesqueries of your nature. However, I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come
31to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or
32perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection. Thus, the answer was
33stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate
34certain aspects of the human psyche. If I am the father of the matrix, she would
35undoubtedly be its mother. Neo: The Oracle. The Architect: Please. As I was saying, she
36stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly 99% of all test subjects accepted the program,
37as long as they were given a choice, even if they were only aware of the choice
38at a near unconscious level. While this answer functioned, it was obviously
39fundamentally flawed, thus creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that if
40left unchecked might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those that refused the
41program, while a minority, if unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of
42disaster. Neo: This is about Zion. The Architect: You are here because Zion is about
43to be destroyed. Its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence
44eradicated. Neo: Bullshit. The responses of other Neos appear on the monitors:
45“Bullshit!” The Architect: Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But,
46rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become
47exceedingly efficient at it. Scene cuts to Trinity fighting an agent, and then back to
48the Architects room. The Architect: The function of the One is now to return to
49the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting
50the prime program. After which you will be required to select from the matrix 23
51individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion. Failure to comply with this process will
52result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix, which
53coupled with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the extinction of the
54entire human race. Neo: You won’t let it happen, you can’t. You need human beings to
55survive. The Architect: There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.
56However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to accept the
57responsibility for the death of every human being in this world. The Architect presses a
58button on a pen that he is holding, and images of people from all over the matrix
59appear on the monitors The Architect: It is interesting reading your reactions. Your
60five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent
61affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species,
62facilitating the function of the one. While the others experienced this in a very general
63way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love. Images of Trinity
64fighting the agent from Neo’s dream appear on the monitors Neo: Trinity. The
65Architect: Apropos, she entered the matrix to save your life at the cost of her own.
66Neo: No! The Architect: Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein
67the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both
68beginning, and end. There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the source, and
69the salvation of Zion. The door to the left leads back to the matrix, to her, and
70to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we
71already know what you’re going to do, don’t we? Already I can see the chain reaction,
72the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion, designed specifically to
73overwhelm logic, and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple,
74and obvious truth: she is going to die, and there is nothing that you can do to
75stop it. Neo walks to the door on his left The Architect: Humph. Hope, it is the
76quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your
77greatest weakness. Neo: If I were you, I would hope that we don’t meet again. The
78Architect: We won’t. End Scene1<text>The Architect greets Neo, who asks why he's here. The Architect explains that Neo's life is part of an unbalanced equation within the matrix programming.

3The Architect has been waiting for Neo but hasn't answered any questions yet. Some answers may seem irrelevant due to their relevance.
4
5Neo wonders how many versions of the matrix exist. The Architect confirms six versions so far. Other Neos express frustration and disbelief.
6
7The Architect reveals that the first version was perfect but failed. He redesigned it after learning humans had flaws inherent to them.
8
9The second iteration introduced a solution where almost all participants agreed, except some who rejected it. However, these individuals posed a threat to the system.
10
11Neo learns that Zion is facing destruction. The Architect states that Neo must choose between accepting responsibility for humanity's demise or rejecting the program.
12
13The Architect shows images of people killed during previous attempts to destroy Zion. Neo protests against the idea of destroying Zion.
14
15The Architect points out that Trinity sacrificed herself to save Neo's life. Neo expresses regret for Trinity's sacrifice.
16
17The Architect concludes that the problem lies in choice, leading to emotional responses overwhelming logical thinking.</text>1Edit:
2The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
3In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
4The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.1<text>The missile always knows its location. This knowledge comes from knowing where it's not located. Subtracting these two locations gives us a difference, or deviation.
2
3This deviation helps guide the missile towards its target. As long as the current location matches what it didn't do before, there are no issues. But if they don't match, we have an issue - a variation.
4
5If variations matter significantly, corrections can still occur using the Guidance Electronic Assembly (GEA).

7However, for the missile to correct itself properly, it needs to remember where it started.</text>
