Subject: Strong arguement - Persephone is the Mother of the Matrix

If you're skeptical of Persephone actually being the mother of the matrix, analyze what I've come up with and judge for yourself.

Persephone longs for 'love.' In her dialogue to Neo, she says, "You love her, she loves you. A long time ago I knew what that felt like. I want to sample it." An implusive request, no one can figure out why she wants it because there's no logic in her request. Why would a kiss be so important??

Later, the architect describes the mother of the matrix as, "an intuitive program," with a "lesser mind."

What ties this altogether is a definition from the first film; the Oracle defines being in love: "Being the One is just like being in love, no one can tell you that you're in love, 'you just know it.' " That also happens to be the definition of 'Intuition,' 'the power of attaining to direct knowledge without evident rational thought.' Emotion, such as love, obviously does not require rational thought, its an impulsive, biological reaction. Since emotion is not logical, it can't be encompassed within the world of mathematical precision and perfection. It is seen by the Architect as an attribute of a 'lesser' mind.

For those that believe that Trinity is the mother, you may be right, remember, the Oracle does mention that newer programs are written to replace older ones. Trinity may very well be the sixth version of the role, but rather than sampling all humans to change the Matrix, she only samples Neo, which could possibly be the reason behind Neo's superpowers. Persephone's kiss may be the reason behind Neo's division between mind and body....

Cheers!
