Updating Every Weekday Unless Something Horrible Happens to Me


Toasted Pixel Presents:
Previous Versions of the Matrix (Part II)

By The Architect.

The architect, frustrated by his previous two failures in making a Matrix, troubleshoots his code...
"I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection."

"In other words, a black person."
"Thus, the answer was stumbled upon by another. An intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche. If I am the father of the matrix, she would undoubtedly be its underprivileged single mother. Yes, even a kung fu movie about physics and psych can put, you know, those programs, in their place."



"She stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly 99.9% of all test subjects accepted the program, as long as they were given a choice."
"While this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed, thus creating:

The otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly."

Footage found from waxy.org showing the power of "The One" anomaly from the last Matrix, Tom Cruise.
"That if left unchecked might threaten the system itself."

"Ergo, those that refused the program, while a minority, if unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster."



"To solve that equation and threat, we made programs that we assumed would be good at math and kung fu, and set them up in pajamas in Chinese restaurants, which we naturally thought would be the ideal environment for them."
"Little did we know that some of these programs wouldn't like where we stuck them."



"So, for our next version of the Matrix, we said screw it, and simply made both the savior and the devils generic-looking white guys."
"Some might say this latest version, where Keanu Reeves is Jesus to all, is our worst Matrix yet."
"Whoa indeed. Whoa, indeed."


So how many Matrices does it take to get to the center of the human mystery?

The machines may never know.
