nothing concrete, i'm on a flow here..... ;-)

Agent Smith leaves Matrix and enters the 'Real World'.How ? Because the human brain is still one of the greatest AI engines on the planet and the machines know this and probably based their own AI engines around it. Therefore the 'software' - Agent Smith - is compatible with the human AI engine allowing him to traverse to the Real World.

Now the reverse is also possible.... a human mind, soul, intelligence, karma, whatever can traverse to the machine world, ie the Matrix. but the KFC man ;-) said 'the process has altered ur conciousness, but u are still irrevocably human'. So from that, i'd take that Neo's thought process/mind/karma/whatever is in the process of becoming more machine based, allowing him to do the things he does in the matrix. he 'thinks' like a machine. ok so every1 knows that already, but he's progressing beyond that. and if unchecked would become some kind of super-program..the architect realises this and basically threatens to pull the plug unless he returns to source. The architect ensures Neo has a connection with humanity...its engineered, so as to influence the decision at the inevitable meeting with KFC man.

but, Neo is touched by hollywood...sorry, human emotions, ie his love of Trinity. this is over-riding his machine thoughts, and making him react emotionally. hence KFC boy is going to be disappointed.....
So where does Neo's control of the machines in the real world come in ? well, i've a sneaky suspicion Neo hasn't left the Matrix, but has. As the wachowski's do so brilliantly, i'll use a computer term to explain.... Client/Server. Neo's body has always been the server of his mind the client. i suspect after leaving the architect, he's continued his learning or if ur a buddhist, he's move on up another level so that now the body is now the client and his mind is the server. 'i can feel them now'... yep, he shut the sentinels down from inside, and lost connection with his body in the real world, whatever....he used an electromagnetic pulse from within the sentinel and he's lost connection with his body.... just as Agent Smith's new body has gone into the same coma after the electromagnetic pulse he set off to destroy the 5 ships. I'm not sure, but i think Neo is out the game as far as the real world goes, or his brain could reboot, but that'd be a bit corny.

having seen the trailer for the 3rd, it looks like Agent Smith is taking over the matrix, by copying himself over everyone and killing people and deleting programs, probably threatening to destroy the Matrix unless Neo confronts him.... Neo fights not only for the humans, but i suspect for all the machines as well, u know the Oracle and her firewall bloke...after all she's a believer too know !!! And in the end, the good machines will live with the people in some sort of agreement Kofi Annan would be proud of, but i suspect Trinity is going to be lonely. If so, i'll give u my email address and she can SSHNuke me anyday ;-)

one thing for sure, i'll sit back and watch my theory and every1 elses being completely wrong with a bg ol' smile on my face, when the next film comes out. These films are simply amazing, and i luv chewing over ideas of 'what if', 'but'.... its like being 15 again !!

Andy and Larry, thanks... u'v made one sad scottish geek very happy in the last few years. Thanks... next time ur in Glasgow i'll buy yez a drink ;-)
