So Neo himself is simply a computer program as well. Agent Smith aluded to this as well, when he said they were more alike then different.

<font color = lightgreen>True. Of course, I said "died", assuming that they can indeed be killed. That would be rather difficult since they aren't alive in the sense that we are alive.</font>

<font color = lightgreen>Remember when Neo killed Smith in the first movie? He went
into Smith's avatar. That means that Neo mixed his "code", his mind/programming, with Smith's. This mixing with Neo is what freed Smith, by giving him a touch of humanity. It also gave Neo a touch of mechanization, of which he is currently unaware--at least, until he sensed and disabled those Sentinels. What we have, then, is that Neo and Smith are now one and the same, both are a combination of man and machine; they are each other's twin.
Smith, not Neo, is the key to humanity's salvation. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] Of course Smith wants to save humanity, because Smith wants to become the new Architect. Why else would he try to assimilate Neo? That would make Smith the One, at which point he will enter the Source and trigger the Reload, but since Smith's fundamental nature is the Matrix (he retains much of his oiginal programming) he could direct its reconfiguration. As Morpheus said, the previous One could change what he wanted inside the Matrix. How do we know that the Architect isn't simply the previous incarnation of the One? You broke it, you fix it.

Fortunately, I can fall back on the conclusions from quantum mechanics which states that all possibilities are potentially true, at least until you make an observation and only one possibility becomes actualized. I
could be right, you know....
The same can be said of what we see with Neo in the Architect's room. All possible answers exist, but when the question is asked only one answer happens. Of course, the Oracle would place more importance on why a certain answer was given and not care about the answer itself. In short, Neo needs to understand why he joined with Smith at the end of the first movie; this was the one eventuality that I don't think anyone foresaw.</font>
