I really like The Matrix, but it doesn't make sense for a simulation. It's a movie and there are tons of things that Just Don't Make Sense.
People grow up inside the Matrix, which means that the whole system has to be continuous. No resets, reboots, starting from scratch, etc. So how do you seed this thing? How do you 'start over'?
Then of course there's the whole thing about Skynet (yes, I know, different franchise) using humans for energy. WTF. Kill the humans, put cows in the pods and have the whole simulation be an endless grass field.
I could go on, but, well, I won't.

Nah, you just implant memories in people in such a way that all of them are consistent (enough) and let the simulation go. In any event, could be an interesting simulation. You have a bunch of robots and a bunch of humans. You start with a few humans who are "rebels" and they have certain ways to disrupt the matrix and make other human into rebels. Etc... Could be fun.
- neuromanta 17y agoYou didn't get the whole point of the Matrix. It's a metaphor. Think about it...
