What Happened to the Architect? | MATRIX EXPLAINED 

If I were a wise old program I would probably keep a backup of my code somewhere safe.

when I found this channel, I said this can't go on for much longer. then the movie got announced and I said "this shall go on for a little bit longer". now here we are 2 years later and you still going. nice man!!!!

*the Architect is hiding in the guise of Matrix Cat*

My wild guess is that the Architect and the Oracle weren't purged by the Analyst. Being a minor program he cannot delete the kernel of the Matrix, not even the main debugger. He tried to hack the code inside Neo, which means that Neo has a copy of the code of the Architect inside him, which allows him to access the mainframe as the Architect does, this was told by the Oracle, and this is the reason of his powers inside and outside the Matrix. Now we see that even Trinity has some code inside her, and this means that even her has the access for the mainframe. Being unable to decode those 2 codes the Analyst continues tricking and altering the system in an upper level. That's why when both Trin and Neo gain Godmode powers the Analyst is no longer in control. This is basically the reason they're still alive and the main reason why the Analyst has no power to delete them... I miss some informations but I have a strong feeling that the black cat Deja vu is related to the Architect and Oracle, this because the cat could be a cage where they're blocked in, like a firewall aka trainman. Having access to the mainframe is allowed to the ones that came from the Matrix itself, and this explains that both Neo and Trinity were, by design, programs installed into human bodies to fulfill the path of the One, upgrading the Architect and the Oracle.

The Frenchman looks exactly like the Train Man did. The Merovingian had to stay locked in purgatory while the new Matrix came into effect, he has to stay there in the shadows until the civil war caused by Neo passes. He is hoping that the war will favor him, he may be pulling strings somewhere.

The Architect pretty sure he calculated this and has a "backup" plan

I never assumed the architect choose to make it look like late 20th century. I thought that design was the only one humans would accept. It's why the extreme paradise/nightmare versions failed. Late 20th century is a perfect combination of a nightmare +paradise, and just enough agency is granted to humans to break free, via combinations of intuition and/or logic.

Don't forget the Architect's statement while explaining to Neo the purpose of the anomaly, as Neo immediately reached for the the card he could play against the Architect, his words were precise and clear "there are levels of survival they were willing to accept" so from a human mind's perspective those levels of survival are unimaginable to us humans😉, and deletion as we now know as our real world heads ever faster at break neck speed into digital world 🌎 that cyberspace is a vastness we only see through a needle point view and software can retrieve deletions from there😮

Can never truly delete these programs, just as they tried to remove the anomaly, the architect can rise again through the emergence of his concept. Maybe not exactly the same, but potentially a new iteration, just like the new agent. The thing with systems that are based on the same medium is it turns all things into a formulaic algorithm, there’s an inevitability to the convergence that leads to the creation of the architect. I fear that it could all turn out to be yet another cycle of the matrix

With all his attention to detail it would be surprising to think the Architect didn't survive.

Now I need to see Resurrections again!! I really wish they show us more about that Machine Civil War! such an interesting event..I can almost imagine a new animatrix showing that part of the story

I think the Architect and Oracle aren't merely separate entities to the Matrix. They were created for the sole purpose of creating the Matrix and thus, I think, are integral parts of it. I feel like deleting them would be like removing a computer's BIOS and operating system. Yes, you can do that, but it means starting completely from scratch, which is something I don't think the Analyst has the patience for. The Analyst observes and tweaks, but he doesn't create.

I find it very hard to believe the machines didn't have backups. Its so crucial in the IT industry. Someone just needs to insert the floppy disk for the architect in and type "Load "*" ,8 ,1" and *poof* the architect is back.

I think the architect and the Oracle are outside the analysts matrix. If you think about it, Neo and Trinity where held in like a sandbox, the Analyst drawing power from their closeness to run the system. The key to his matrix, the cat. Giving Neo and Trinity the ability to exit the sandbox and do as they please. The suits, higher programs, possibly, showing that the Oracle and Architect are still around. So this matrix could be seen as a seperate program to the original matrix, itself, meaning that what Neo and Trinity are about to do, could purge from the sandbox into the actual matrix, like a programmer/hacker does after making sure that no spyware, spam, virus etc exists in the file they just downloaded before moving to their system.

Amazing analysisis !!

I think Architect and Oracle are still alive just like Merovingian. The purge of the Oracle is a myth I suppose. They could be surviving (just surviving) in some other Modal reality.

Considering how he measured everything in probabilities, and was a master of it, he'd be a master strategist. So his chances of survival are good. I could see him, and the Oracle watching the events unfold in real time. Her talking about Neo as a person, and with emotion, and he talking about the probabilities of failure, coldly, constantly changing the chances as events unfold.

Love you Matrix family. We are all in this world together. Spread some love in your code today.

Also, considering the architect is the most intelligent program within the Matrix and is as close to "God" as you can get within the program itself....since HE made it, he can be everywhere and nowhere. He's like the Cat that seems to always pop up at critical plot points.

Another awesome video in the insights of the Matrix!

Thank you.

Thank you for the amount of times you displayed the machine civil war scenes 🔥🙌🏽 It looks awesome.

Just noticed you guys came back :) about time

What doesn't make sense to me in retrospect is why was The Architect replaced by The Analyst for any reason other than efficiency. I get the Civil War aspect but Neo didn't make that deal with The Architect, he made it with The Deus Ex Machina who was obviously above The Architect. I took his response about whether or not he would uphold the truce as to say, "I'm not human, I follow orders from the boss." Imo

Great video as always. You should do one about “The Suits” the analyst referenced.. I am still curious about the hierarchy of power in the machine world.

I kind of hope that when/IF we ever see anothing Matrix movie, or whatever, that there is a faction that wants Humans and Machines to merge into one faction that is aiming to cleanup the sky, and to expand beyond earth. (Albeit honestly, in my own opinion the Machines probably are already up there anyhow )

Sería fantástico ver en el futuro un enfrentamiento entre los dos arquitectos, el matemático y el analista.

No matter how much power a human body generates (and it isn't much), it would take more energy to harvest that energy. Poor battery.

For all the computational power the Architect had, you’d think he’d come up with a better solution for energy production, like I dunno, solving fusion.

The Analyst referencing the suits shows there's a hierarchy of their world. Something somewhere pulls the strings and all these programs are replaceable components. If you control everything and machines don't really die then there is no rush, especially if humans aren't the battery. Could be millions of years have passed with no way of knowing other than the info the machines probably gave us. Seems like a trustworthy source. What happened to Deus Ex Machina? To me this has become Matrixception and less the Matrix of old. There is definitely more than one layer looking back. Sweet vids. Keep em coming!

I just keep thinking the machines really dropped the ball making humanity its power source. Wouldn't it been far easier to just tap into the planet's core and go geothermal than to depend on humanity for its continued survival?

It always bothered me that they didn't use geothermal energy, or nuclear. They went straight to humans, that's gotta be a whole lot less efficient than the alternatives.

Funny that he would say humans don't care about facts, only fiction. He's one of those very people. 😂

I LOVE the music at the end of every episode. What is that tracks title? Is it an own mix? Can I stream it somewhere in full length?

I always wondered what happened to both the Architect and Oracle. The scene where they met up. The Oracle was with Santi but was Seraph there to protect her? And the Architect actually left his room. Could he had analyzed Smiths defective code and learned how to take over a red pills body to survive the Analyst's replacing him? Now making him a fugitive program. It's that's the case. Could the Analyst reuniting Trinity and Neo be part of a greater plan to draw the Architect out if he did survive?

Wow I did not know about this part of matrix history

Ergo! Vis a vis!

Please don't stop posting videos ❤️

It doesn’t matter wether the architect is dead, or deleted, because either way the architect became obsolete, replaced by the analyst (I’m guessing he still alive in a legacy matrix.)

Im work in the IT field, I love the reference's to computer tech because it makes sense. I really hope we get more movies!

The Merovingian seemed to have so much leeway as an Exile in the Megacity R&D. Much of what the Architect and Oracle were doing was being tracked by the Merovingian this it is possible that the Merovingian was in good standing with the Authorities/Suits despite being an Exile if only in title alone. Perhaps the Merovingian was planning to one day escape the Matrix by uploading himself to Neo's brain and Persephone to Trinity's brain once the One had become powerful enough as an Omnibus. I think in the precious seconds before Neo-Smith was electrified inside and outside something happened Neo-Smith's residuals remained with everyone he'd taken over. Neo-Smith Omnibus was much calm compared to the second most powerful, Smith-Oracle, and this is probably why the Authorities/Suits gave the OK to resurrect Neo and Trinity again because Neo-Smith must have done something to the system prior to the overload event. This is the reason Trinity seems to have slightly more power than Neo in Resurrections in the end in Mega City. The Analyst galvanized Neo with fear and anxiety to waterdown anger and resentment towards the machines that may arise within the One. Controlling Neo's emotions and senses so much to overwhelm him with guilt and doubt. So in conclusion something major must be happening, a new power struggle and the Analyst would have rather let Neo-Smith divided with Trinity at the helm to buy time for Sati and him (yes I do believe her helping Neo and Trinity was a plan between her and the Analyst) before the start of a new crisis. I think Smith must have become aware at some point long before the actual Resurrection film takes place and was the reason for Neo's obsession with creating the Modal in the first place en route to WB demanding a new "game" with or without Deus Machina.

He’s in the recycling bin. Just open it up, right click and hit “restore”

I didn't think that Resurrections took place in the 'real' Matrix at all. I thought that was intentional on the part of Lana Wachowski, who wanted to both satisfy the studios demands for another sequel, while staying true to the original films. Doesn't Bugs stress in the first few scenes that what they've been observing is essentially a simulation of the Matrix, more like a sub-program for running hypotheticals. I don't recall anything later that says they're not still there. This fits with Neo and Trinity both having different bodies there, and the sense of dislocation that they feel. Also, this is the very reason given for why Morpheus is a different character. The Analyst is running the program part of Neo and Trinity (in the original films they were always human / program hybrids, via 'treats' given to them by the Oracle, hence why this hybridisation power got passed to Agent Smith and turned into a virus) which was saved by the machines when the human parts of the characters died. He's essentially tinkering with these programs within his own little constructed world, and everything they're told in it is a lie, including the parts about the civil war. This is why they're able to set themselves free at the end, but only inside the sub-program - it's the only place they exist. Given all of this, the Architect and the re-set Oracle and everyone else in the main Matrix would still be there - we just never see them in this story, because that's not where any of it takes place. The film is all about exploitation, and the repetition inherent in that. This interpretation of the setting fits that exactly.

I still think the Architect is still overseeing everything from outside the simulation, keeping the Analyst on task. The Analyst kept referring to "The Suits" as programs more powerful and with more authority than him, and who better to be the top "suit" but the Architect? Maybe the other "suits" are the upgrade agents from Reloaded, now promoted to executive positions and acting as the Architects own personal enforcers/bodyguards, like how Seraph was for the Oracle. This would explain why when Trinity rejected the simulation, "The Suits" trying to reset the Matrix to a previous version...the version of the original trilogy.

Your summary of the events of the civil war sounds like a great idea for a movie... it's too bad that we got shafted with the garbage that was an unimaginative remake of the first movie. I can see these programs being placed in a "Quarantine" just in case if the Analyst needs to call upon them to fix something. From a movie perspective, they are totally "alive" somewhere.

The Architect, my fav character in The Matrix franchise, is without a doubt DELETED! He ain’t the type to go into hiding He’s either running s*%t or DEAD! Anything else would be inconsistent what we know about his character Also, shot out to this channel for explaining the machine civil war better than the movie did itself That shouldn’t be overlooked You’re awesome! 💪🏽

And now the Analyst is going to move over to Doctor Who. :-)

Code hardly ever gets fully deleted ;) laughs in Linux

Ergo. Vis a vis. Concordantly.

I was watching this just a few minutes ago when the broadcast suddenly got cut off. Why did this happen?

The Architect is the Kernel, the analyst is a very advanced add-on who act like the upgraded architect - but this is just a misrepresentation

The last sentence deeply reinforces what the Analyst told about humans and how they don't give a shit about facts. After stating that he was deleted, you ask the rhetorical question whether he may return.

The architect's code is likely baked into the Matrix, resetting it again likely would resurrect him as it rebooted one of the 1st tasks would be to load him back in. I don't think a Programme is deleted unless they really really annoy the wrong higher up, they are more likely removed from operation status and held in a state of abeyance in a no operational state. Those who are needed and well be needed again would either be replaced or "switched off" the exceptions to that might be those who's code no longer makes sense in the new context. like the twins.

The Architect went back to what he was good at, Making Good Chicken.

Quick question I was just talking about this to a Freind I might be wrong but isn’t this the same guy in John wick 4 the older guy who set the rules for the duel

Still my one of my favorite matrix character

200th like

Well choice(which is an illusion) and calculations are still there. So Oracle and Arcitect should still be there. We saw that not much thing can reach the level of Architect he rules it all. Analyst just a cocky boy. He think he knows it all but just a puppet like Smith.

If there are any follow on Matrix films to Matrix: Resurrection not only will we likely see more appearances of Agent Smith and the Merovingian but also the reappearance of the Oracle and the Architect.

Skynet vs architecture 😊

Hello ,I think he is returning but as a happy ending of the new war between Neo and trinity vs the analyst , can you please tell me why the architect is so highing him self like machine racism ...

What the background music in the 1:50 mins mark

Hey dude. Idk if youve ever addressed this or not but why did the architect give neo a choice at all? Neo made it to him and that was supposed to be it right? The system was supposed to reboot and the machines would exterminate most of Zion. So why did he even present him with the option to save Trinity?

I loved the Architect; so darned clinical.

I would imagine that the Analyst is just an upgraded Architect. Even if they are completely different, the AI and the machines are just as malleable as the code they're made out from. If to say that the AI Codes have a hardware plugged in somewhere was removed or destroyed would be different. But I also somewhat feel like the AI have a hivemind master controller somewhere that they're all not totally sentient individuals, at least not specifically when it comes to what's inside the Matrix versus the Real. When Matrix Reloaded introduced 'new' agents, I don't feel like the previous agents were deleted or killed. Just remodeled and their new faces just was a means of showing that they changed internally as well as externally.

I have a question though, if the Oracle, the Architect, the Analyst and all those powerful programs have been created, then by whom have they been created? And if because they are created, does that mean that there is an all powerful master program or software or something that is actually in control? I mean, to be created means that there is a creator right? So whoever created these programs must be more powerful than his creations. What do you think?

I must be the only one that noticed, that M4 is a prequel. The architect is Neo. GET IT?

We will get to the end and realize....Neo created the entire thing...only to keep falling in love with Trinity.... it's the paradise that is trying to be perfected...an eternity of falling in love with the love of his life. The Matrix has to be perfected so that that feeling of falling in love with here...living with here...having the first meeting...the last words...the struggles in between are forever. The Merovingian explained it

what is the intro music

I will not even acknowledge the 4th movie as part of the canon. The director made it very clear she didn’t think it should be made. She even dropped took swipes at WB in the actual movie when the characters were saying that the Matrix video game did not need a follow-on.

NPH is my absolute favorite part of the movie i love him in it and actually like the movie

It would make a good multi part episode of season 4 of The Orrville. The Orrville comes across a planet, and scans reveal the facts about the planet: a human settlement in a subterranean cavern system, and humans being used for a power source. Isaac discovers a data point and the crew is able to observe the Matrix and its connections. They discover that the machines have no spaceflight capability and they cannot be attacked while in orbit. Isaac believes that he can enter the Matrix to obtain more information.

Everyone: The Analyst: sudo su

This story is so ground breaking, it can be saved.

Any good administrator never deletes data, there are always backups. Most likely the Oracle and Architect were placed in cold storage.

Who are the "Suits" that the Analyst works for?

IF I had to guess, The Architect is probably a hidden leader of one of the factions trying to regain control of the Matrix. Guarantee some of the factions are working together in this and he could be a hidden leader. Because redundancies exist, it would have to be a complete and thorough wipe to completely remove them.

Some people think the matrix is over but NO theres so much that can be Reimagined I'm surprised they haven't done a series yet I can already see how it can be done👌🏾

I fail to see why the Architect wouldn't have a back door. If he had successfully maintained 'The One' Reset/Loop at least a half dozen times, and bore witness to the Smith Virus, it would not go beyond reason to presume that a steady decline in power would lead to an overall system breakdown, hence the Machine Civil War. When such an eventuality transpired, securing a means to escape would've be prudent. So where is the Architect? Still adhering to his sword, he said he wouldn't meet Neo again...perhaps he's simply waiting for Neo to die again, not like he hasn't seen it happen before. The Architect has nothing but time, time to wait and see...

The Oracle would need a new shell. Perhaps the Architect does too?

The machines can build hovercraft, but can’t go past the atmosphere to harness solar power? This has always struck me as a weakness in this story…

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I welcome the Killzone remasters...BUT...I am hoping for Resistance to make a comeback! Would love to see a Resistance: Fall of Man remaster/remake!

He is putting in wor

Or, considering what's going on in Cyberpunk, humans turning into machines and enslaving other humans. And a small resistance trying not to go that path. That might also sound plausible, considering what's going on in cybernetics nowadays.

I'm curious to where the freed humans went? To Zion? I'm curious as to whether it exists still and IO is a breakoff civilisation of humans/machines wheras Zion is human only still led by Morpheus? I don't yhink Oracle/Architect are fully destroyed just as i don't think Zion is, i think we saw alternate factions in Resurrections

The only Matrix I saw was the first one. Maybe I will watch the other ones just for some lore reasons.

Weasel would be a proper assessment

There's always another way. To protect themselves, maybe programs can make copies of themselves and can be hidden in crazy places on the WEB or hard drive. I know when you delete something from a computer it never truly goes away unless you wipe it or something

One thing I wish they tried was to just let humanity know enough of the truth to be more plausible and acceptable to humanity and basically just turn the matrix into an MMO.

For all the power of AI, they couldn't even figure out cold fusion.

I think the Analyst's characterization of the Architect suggests the Architect was a positivist and, in his understanding of human psyche, a behavioralist at best. The Oracle, an "intuitive" program, appears to have a sort of depth psychology approach. The Oracle and Architect did collaborate (but not too closely) on another path of the One cycle, but the Oracle was willing to allow a far greater development of the One, betting it could end the war. So, given the rise of the Analyst, I think definitely he valued the continuing, but severely controlled, development of the One. But not the continued development of either the Oracle or the Architect. The Analyst considers himself a blend of the two, but I think the Analyst combines their worst reductive tendencies (obsessive manipulation of humans) and demonstrates none of the Oracle's intuitive trust of human emotions or developmental potential. If the Analyst had truly sampled the last iteration of the Oracle's code, he would have her intuitive gifts, particularly faith enough to let humans a modicum of actual choice. The fate of the Architect would also seem to be indicated by the Analyst's disdain of empirical or objective realism. Like some of the other commentators, the code of the One is the crucial sources of any of these humanist qualities we might have credited the Oracle or the Architect with by the end of the trilogy. I believe the code of the One was uniquely treasured by all the Matrix AIs, not only to perfect future iterations of the One, but to be shared out as much as possible as a benchmark of the quality of the Matrix as a perfect human prison. Whatever fools the One has to be considered successful advancement of the deception of the Matrix. Partly because the One recognizes its falseness so sharply, and partly because the One had remained, despite this, easy to control with emotional manipulation. This is where whatever movie IV is, is relevant, because it shifts the import of the One somewhat to Trinity. Which brings with it a lot of questions over who is Trinity really? If Trin can be a One, what does that mean for the One? And if the One can degrade in realization or power, what does that mean for the One? What does it mean to be Two, or Three? I don't know. But things begin to make a bit more sense if One code is being shifted into different programs or humans. It makes sense if the Analyst gave himself One code, but I just don't see it in his fairly reductive, retro conduct of disdain for human emotion. More likely all that good One code was squandered, except whatever Trinity got or developed on her own. The Matrix in IV is a degraded shadow of where it was at the end of III, and everyone is worse for it, except maybe Trinity. That suggests any AI capable of appreciating the peace was deleted.

The analyst became the architect.

If one listens to the first movie carefully, humans were not the sole energy source for the machines. Humans were _"combined with a type of fusion,"_ so they were a supplementary source.

Perhaps Resurrections was one of the Architect's countless modals.

Unless they sort out that writers strike, we may never know.

Wait, what happened to Muffin? Did it not come back after it went out the mini door to piddle?

When the oracle said "What about the others..?" I think she ment both humans trapped within the matrix and also the programs that want out

It was such a crime for them to tease us with the machine civil war and only show like 10 seconds of it

if there is a Matrix 5, the only way for Neo and Trinity to defeat the Analyst in his matrix of feelings is to become stoic and mathematical like the Architect
