Their physical bodies died. This is a world where strong AI and beyond has been achieved. The AI machines are basically immortal. You could easily create a plot where the machines scanned and digitized their consciousness.
Given that the machines know how to connect a body to a VR environment they probably already know how to digitize the human brain. They probably learned how to do it when they were doing experiments on human beings to find their weaknesses.
Remember that there are multiple competing AI agents. It could have been one of those AI agents sympathetic to the humans that brought them back.
- tmikaeld 7y agoI would certainly go to see this plot, love the idea!
- colordrops 7y agoAlso they may have never fully made it out of the top level simulation, and are still alive. The architect talked about how the matrix has gone through several iterations and that there is a neo in each one right? Perhaps Neo and Trinity have been software all along.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoWasn't Neo and Trinity the aberration though? Wasn't love the thing that the architect had never seen before?
- wayneftw 7y agoI thought the architect was having a problem dealing with anomalies surrounding free will or “choice”, not the lack of understanding for love or hope...but maybe I missed something. He did say that the machines had destroyed Zion 5 times already though, or something like that. Maybe that’s where movie 4 will expand.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI guess it was specific love instead of general love that confounded things. From http://www.leesmovieinfo.net/special/MatrixReloadedSpeech1.php http://www.leesmovieinfo.net/special/MatrixReloadedSpeech1.p...: The Architect - It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love. Images of Trinity fighting the agent from Neo's dream appear on the monitors Neo - Trinity. The Architect - Apropos, she entered the matrix to save your life at the cost of her own. Neo - No! The Architect - Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning, and end. There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the source, and the salvation of Zion. The door to the left leads back to the matrix, to her, and to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you're going to do, don't we? Already I can see the chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple, and obvious truth: she is going to die, and there is nothing that you can do to stop it.
- kopos 7y agoReading that whole conversation in the voice of the Architect. Goosebumps!
- gambiting 7y agoThe problem isn't with how to explain it in the in-world lore. The solution you are suggesting would obviously work perfectly fine with what we know from the movies already. The problem is with the fact that the finality of Trinity's and Neo's sacrifices is an extremely powerful storytelling device. By bringing those characters back, even as AI simulated versions of themselves(so still "technically" leaving the original characters dead), it cheapens the ending of Revolutions.
