How do we know that Zion is in fact the real world?
There's shades of duality about Zion and the Matrix, except that we all know that Descarte's duality is bogus, right? So there will have to be a unification of Zion and the Matrix.
That's my "theory" on why Neo was able to zap the machines when he was "outside" the matrix - but not the machine's range of control.
It also explains how Agent Smith got into Zion.
That's the argument made by some.
another interesting argument is that the machines want to wipe out humanity, but can't because they lack free will and require humans (Keanu) to make that decision for them.
The whole matrix argument has thrown up the eternal "u didn't enjoy it cos u didn't understand it" argument.
I enjoyed it:)
