The Oracle helps the One, and anyone following him, to disconnect from the Matrix, which makes the system more stable. Along with the Oracle, he created the 3rd version, which was accepted by most. The Architect created two versions of the Matrix, a Paradise, and a Nightmare, both of which were rejected by humans. The Oracle is a program designed to investigate the human psyche, making it easier for people to accept the Matrix. In the 3rd movie, the Oracle says her purpose is to bring imbalance to the Matrix, while the Architect tries to do the opposite. The Oracle tries to help humans, while the architect is more aligned with the machines. God has chosen to stop the cycle, and has placed a huge section of that responsibility in your hands.They are both old programs, which have been in the Matrix since the beginning (or shortly after). As the Architect succinctly says:Īs you adequately put, the problem is choice.
#MATRIX THE ARCHITECT FREE#
The only thing working against God: Free will, our human frailty, the anomaly that is part and parcel to Creation that God cannot stamp out or filter. In the continuing story of the people of God, our God has chosen to stop smiting the world and pressing reset (reminding us every time a rainbow is in the sky that this is not God’s way) and instead works with us to transform our hearts, turn our minds away from cyclical sin, and work alongside us for our redemption. In the end of the Matrix, humans and machines presumably learn to co-exist in harmony rather than dictated existence as slave and master. People are scattered but continue to build cities… if God wanted to transform his creation, he couldn’t keep periodically pressing “reset.” And like all revolutionary change, its effects are not transformative. We have seen that this sort of violent action iis pretty characteristic of God in Genesis: casting out and cursing, flooding and scattering, circumcizing and bartering over the destruction of Sodom. One of the hinge points is in the Tower of Babel story where God scatters the human race that sought to reach God through illicit means: In Kester Brewin’s book Signs of Emergence, he outlines how God moves from transforming the world through revolutionary tactics (floods, smiting, etc) to transforming the world through evolutionary tactics (becoming human and embodying God’s wishes rather than dictating them).

#MATRIX THE ARCHITECT MOVIE#
I know it has been a few years since these movies came out (I remember taking a group of 20 religion students to the first movie when it came out), but it is striking how when what I’m reading screams realization of what a movie plot point might mean. The Architect plays God with unpredictable humans and does well until he accepts a different outcome in Neo, the seventh anomaly, who introduces a lasting change of peace between human and machine.

And each time that human life becomes able to pose a threat, the Architect manufactures events to force a reset of the system (and thus its continuation).

The Architect rules the world even though all of life hinges on the unpredictability of a single human response. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix, which coupled with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race. After which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion.
#MATRIX THE ARCHITECT CODE#
The function of the One is now to return to the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program. Its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated… I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version…You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed. In the Matrix Trilogy, the character of the Architect describes how the machines (who have taken over the world and enslaved humanity into a drea world) dealt with the variable called human free will which refused to be controlled or pacified: The Matrix Trilogy is a Christian Hacker’s dream of nuanced meaning, theological dilemmas, and the sci-fi world of humanity v.
