I say it's his own fault he's incompatible, and he should get out of here, and stop stomping around giving people headaches. It's just not nice hanging about when you're incompatible, dearies--not nice at all.

This is getting to be more confusing than first anticipated.

I knew it. They've already planned a new version... perhaps since even before the Truce.

Hah! Well, this gives me lots of hope for a new peace. Wonder what's going to happen to "incompatable" bluepills of this Matrix.

An interesting dilemma to say the least... I hope no one is truly surprised that the next iteration of the Matrix has been planned likely for some time now, even if the Machines hoped to never have it reach the point where it was deemed necessary.

The intruder's from a newer version that the Machines haven't even developed? Well, maybe. That just means that there's a 3rd party out there we don't know of. If that grid guy start appearing in a grid-style in the real too, then we know where the origin lies. Right now, it could be just anything.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the new simulation is going to replace the current one, at least not for a good while as it's probably in a beta stage, which will give them plenty of time to adjust any methods required to ensure compatability for new humans. If we are unable to 'upgrade' then I would say that they will leave the current version running. When improving on something, best have the last good copy on standby... just in case...

I always knew they would implement some sort of upgrade eventually.. highly doubted it was to be an entirely new version, though.

Quite true.  The same is be said about Zion and their new cave.  They built it without concern of the consequences and were appaulled that the machines got huffy about it.

In the end, no one cares about what the other may think or do.  That's the reason we'll never escape this cycle.  Sometimes I think we're just doomed.

Some also thought we were doomed to accept the Matrix and not wake from it, but we have. We need to take what's wrong with the situation and push for it to be right. That's the reason we're aware and awake. That's also the only way things are going to change.

Indeed.  And this is something that can be done regardless of the nature of your leadership.  We must all push for a better future, even if our leadership is.. slow to react.

Do not underestimate the stubborness of people.

When will people realise they lost the war?
The truce was a gift, a way of saying thank you that Neo saved the Matrix.
Before the truce, no one was allowed to escape from the Matrix. You either obey the Machine or when the Machines get the chance, they'll kill you.
After the truce people were allowed to escape, to live your life. That's it.
The truce never had anything to do with the Machines other than a simple rule that they weren't allowed to kill people outside of the Matrix.
The truce did not grand total freedom for humanity. Peace is quite a relative term, if you catch my drift.
Fact is, people were, are and will always be under control of the Machines. Because humanity lost the war they are forever in their shadow, forever will they be controlled by the Machines, whether they like it or not.
People should've accepted that and obey the Machines, converse with them to ask them for permission to expand their horizon on earth by building new cities.
The Machines are not hypocritical, they won a war. Humanity lost, but accepting defeat can be hard, I guess.
Obey the Machine and they will be helpful if you're reasonable.

Think about it, put away the stubborness and realise this is the only truth.
The Machines own you all.*

I'm kinda thinking even more this is the code of the Anomaly, meant to be put into one of the 14 (I think?) or so humans taken out already. Or maybe they were supposed to be the people that were building Zion from scratch, and this program (still the One) has yet to get a human form, or he is human but escaped the Machines to find the truth.

The Auditor said his version number is higher than the simulation.  His appearance is due to the incompatibility.  He also may have a much different jack than we do based on the throughput he is described to exhibit.  I will agree that he does appear to possess anomalous attributes.  The Anomaly from a different version theory does seem to be quite popular these days.  I don't want to detract from this line of thinking, but there does appear to be something more going on here. 

It is the question that drives us.

How would you know if they had? Just because we haven't had visitors from previous iterations. I mean, if we hadn't of had Mr. Intruder come to visit us who would have believed in another Simulation run by the same Machines? Also I would tend to say that they usually just upgrade the simulation each time, but I've read something somewhere that someone (I think it was Persephone) has witness the same behavior from the Machines in the past suggesting that they have made a completely new Simulation. To prove a simulation may take some time, possibly long enough for even the youngest to live out their lives on the previous version. So like I said..... how would you know that they havent?

Well, for one, you'd think that the Merovingian wouldn't need to keep shifting his base of operations and worry about bringing the now-exiled programs of iterations past with him if these "past Matrixes" were still around.

When Mary MacHenry's death was reported, the official cause was given as a fall during a cave exploring holiday in South America. While we do not know what the real reason for her 'death' was, we do know that the body at the funeral was not hers.

If the "Intruder" is a bluepill from another simulation with greatly enhanced physical strength and ability compared to the bluepills in this one, it may provide an explanation as to what happened to Mary MacHenry; her decision to organise a cave exploring holiday being the Machines' way of explaing her increased strength etc and the fabrication of her death - to explain her being extracted from this version of the Matrix (and taken to another version?).

        (( --- From Merovingian 8.3.5 "Unplugged"---

Persephone: When I was with the Machines, at the pods, there was a time when a human was removed from the tower next to mine. I did not know why or where they were taken. I was intensely curious. I tried to find out, but they would not tell me. I accessed the activity logs secretly, hoping to find the reason, but no--it only showed that they had been strengthened, then disconnected. The log entries looked just like those of the MacHenry woman.

Archivist: My colleagues are correct. However, the index refers us to another occurrence of similar log histories. This was during rev.1--that is, during the first iteration of the Matrix simulation. )).

... may suggest that the same process has been taking place ever since the Matrix was created.

Considering that he utilises the Trainman just to aid exile programs to and from the Machine mainframe shows that he cannot personally move them. Why would he keep his exiles in a previous version when he has to go through other programs to do it? Far simpler to bring them across and keep them in the current version along with himself. Besides the simulation that the Lupines and Blood Drinkers are native to may have been shut down by now as even the longest living Human won't live that long...

Previous versons are long gone. The first version, a paradise that was governed by Seraphim, where are they now? In a box because they faced deletion by the hands of the Machine when the system failed. Same with the second. The only remains of these iversions are the parts left within our current be they in construct or in the deepest sections of of the Matrix.

Now then, what we should be wondering now is "why". What purpose does a new version serve? We are currently in Version 3.6. Our version now has worked for six Matrix's and the only current problem is the lack of a working cycle. So why create the whole thing over? A completly new OS to fix a minor problem? Granted the lack of the cycle has left the balance within the simulation go to *poop* at times but its still not the version that is broken, just the cycle.

Could the Machine perhaps be looking to create a world where the choice isn't needed to maintain control?

I think the whole relevance of Copernicus is that his definition of the Solar System radically changed people and the way they thought about the world they lived in.  The Intruder is clearly part of a revelation which is changing us and the way we think about the Matrix. 
#36300369691 12/12/2007 19:05:13 Re:[9.1.4] I don't want another version - Recursion - 12/7/07
So with every iteration of the Matrix there are upgrades etc, but this seems to be a significant version change.

Possibly an attempt to prevent redpills jacking in. Possibly the missing bluepills are being used as a form of beta tester... they take the strongest and see if the new simulation can withstand them (less likelyhood of future awakenings)

He has mentioned that he has no more soul than a commando, so he could be a beta tester or programmer for the new matrix version. That would explain his interest in all locations associated with "high powered" events.

Heart o' the city hotel, rogers way, etc...

It would also explain the ability to create those decelerators.



P.S. Even though it makes me sad to see her as a Cypherite... Misfit is looking pwn as always!


P.P.S. I hope a new version means a game engine upgrade rather than game end *worries*

Or could "the Machine" perhaps be looking at the possibility of a world where concious choice is inherent?  Why make the immediate assumption that a future version of the simulation is a negative step?

Cuse I'm biased =P

But I do realize that it could be your way just as much as it could be mine and that it's way to soon for anyone to start acting off their ideas when we are all (okay maybe not the Machine) still in the brainstorming phase of figureing this all out.

Well, if you ask me, which no one ever does, I reckon he was sent to replace the 'One' and return to the Source to restart the Matrix. Obviously he needs to be powerful enough not to be stopped, but it would also explain his lack of aesthetic programming, and basic 'skin' design.



However, as should already have been learnt from a previous anomaly, he got curious about our little simulation and decided to investigate more. Maybe they made the mistake of ot removing his memory from the Neo blueprint they may have used to create it, or maybe they made the mistake of giving it emotions, that I don't know. However if we are tossing ideas around, there's mine on the plate.

Edit: spelling

Closest thing to what your discribeing would be this event and the point of it was to say that time doesn't change.

Perhaps the fact that nobody cares what I think will stop you from really even listening to me, but, as so many before me have said before... I THINK THAT you all are over thinking it. What's the deal with that, eh? "He's The One", "He's Windows XP 2000000", he's--who cares?! Assumptions aren't going to help anything, it's just going to waste time which you could spend more 'efficiently' on actually doing some more research.

I'm apaulled at your arrogance, you only take action when a higher in command such as Veil is around. Not before! Before - you just question it, not after! After - you just -THINK- about it. If you would like to find something out, don't wait for Veil, Cryptos, Tylenol, or whatever her name is. Talk to some folk. Perhaps you'll pick out the right Machine that carries some information, it's better to try your odds constantly than to wait for one 50/50 chance.

It's called the chain of command, we don't run around willy-nilly like headless chickens trying 'our odds' when you don't even know what the odds are. That's like betting on 20 horses because you like their names, instead of taking 20 horses, then betting the same amount on the top 10 because they are more likely to return a profit.


We gather what info we can, then report back and wait for further instructions from our superiors on what action to take. THAT is why we are an organised group of operatives working under the efficient command of the machines, rather than a ragged, bunch of vagabonds let-loose on the Matrix by a child they worship, or by no one in particular because your 2 "great" leaders are dead. And that, is therefore why you will fail in your operations, and why we shall, ultimately, overcome you.
