the matrix - Was (Smith)Bane communicating with Smith?


My Answer to another question got me thinking about whether or not (Smith)Bane was communicating with the Agent Smith Program inside the Matrix.


Is it possible that (Smith)Bane is just a copy of the program that needed to communicate with the Smith Program for instruction intermittently?



Answer



I know that the first thing that comes to mind is Neo's encounter with the Sentinel, then comes the fact that he exists inside the train station on Mobil Ave.



let's look at these for a minute and decide later whether Smith could communicate in the same fashion as these two instances.


Let's first take a look at the realms that we know to exist given the information in the 3 movies



  1. The Matrix

  2. The Train Station (Mobil Ave.)

  3. The Machine World

  4. The Real World


We know that Mobil ave. exists as a gateway between the Machine World and the Matrix because the Programs there are being carted to a place where they will be safe from Smith and the Destruction of the Matrix, some even say that the programs hide in the Train Station during the reboot of the Matrix so this is a separate realm from the Matrix and not dependent on it for survival.


In the Real world, real machines are after the Humans that have been set free from the Matrix. These machines must have a wireless link to the machine world.



let's map out a little something here quickly



  • Machine World

    • Servers

    • Sentinels

    • Machines



  • The Train Station


    • a Port on a server between the Matrix and the "Server"(Machine World)

    • or a storage device connected to the Machine world with a program that downloads to the Matrix and the Machine World based on a set of rules defined by the The Trainman Program



  • The Matrix

    • The Signal from this program must be broadcast via wireless signals for some reason as the Humans (unplugged) in the real world are able to hack into the signal to reintroduce what I call their "program" to the Matrix and bring it back





The Train Station, The Matrix, Sentinels and other machines are all connected to the Machine World in some fashion or another.


I also assume that the Matrix is not the only place in the Machine world where there are programs.


When the Sentinel finds them Neo sends out his program to shut down the Sentinel, instead of his program returning to his body, a connection is made to the Machine world, seeing as how there is no place for Neo's "program" in the Machine world it is sent to a type of purgatory for exiled programs that don't quite fit anywhere anymore, The Train Station. But Neo is still connected by Wireless signal, had the machines been ready for him they could have assimilated his code this way before he was sent to The Train Station. Neo couldn't leave because he didn't understand the laws or ideas behind the place where he was, it was a brand new Matrix with one way out.


We also know that there is only one way into The Train Station this lends itself to the fact that everyone is safe there, safe from The Matrix, from the Program Smith, and safe from Deletion.


With this information it is possible that the Program Smith could have been able to communicate with (Smith)Bane in a similar manner if he was able to find a way to broadcast the signal close enough to (Smith)Bane, Theoretically.

Did the gatekeeper and the keymaster get intimate in Ghostbusters?

According to TVTropes ( usual warning, don't follow the link or you'll waste half your life in a twisty maze of content ): In Ghostbusters, it's strongly implied that Dana Barret, while possessed by Zuul the Gatekeeper, had sex with Louis Tully, who was possessed by Vinz Clortho the Keymaster (key, gate, get it?), in order to free Big Bad Gozer. In fact, a deleted scene from the movie has Venkman explicitly asking Dana if she and Louis "did it". I turned the quote into a spoiler since it contains really poor-taste joke, but the gist of it is that it's implied that as part of freeing Gozer , the two characters possessed by the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper had sex. Is there any canon confirmation or denial of this theory (canon meaning something from creators' interviews, DVD commentary, script, delete scenes etc...)? Answer The Richard Mueller novelisation and both versions of the script strongly suggest that they didn't have sex (or at the very l...

Why didn't The Doctor or Clara recognize Missy right away?

So after it was established that Missy is actually both the Master, and the "woman in the shop" who gave Clara the TARDIS number... ...why didn't The Doctor or Clara recognize her right away? I remember the Tenth Doctor in The Sound of Drums stating that Timelords had a way of recognizing other Timelords no matter if they had regenerated. And Clara should have recognized her as well... I'm hoping for a better explanation than "Moffat screwed up", and that I actually missed something after two watchthroughs of the episode. Answer There seems to be a lot of in-canon uncertainty as to the extent to which Time Lords can recognise one another which far pre-dates Moffat's tenure. From the Time Lords page on Wikipedia : Whether or not Time Lords can recognise each other across regenerations is not made entirely clear: In The War Games, the War Chief recognises the Second Doctor despite his regeneration and it is implied that the Doctor knows him when they fir...

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

warhammer40k - What evidence supposedly supports Tau as related to the Necrontyr?

I've heard of rumours saying that the Tau from Warhammer 40K are in fact the Necrontyr. Is there anything that supports this statement, in WH40K canon? I just found this, on 1d4 chan 1 : Helping Necrons? Or are they Necrontyr descendants? An often overlooked issue is that Tau have no warp signatures, just like Necrons, hate Warpspawns and Warp in general, just like Necrons, have the exact same skull shape,stature and short lives, and the overwhelming need for Technology and beam weapons, JUST LIKE NECRONS. GW may have planned a race that simply prepares a pacified, multiracial galaxy for Necrons to feast upon, supported by Ethereals that have a C'tan phase blade. Then there is a reference of "dark seed in east" by the Deceiver, so the tricky C'tan might give Tzeentch the finger in the JUST AS PLANNED competition. Or maybe GW just has so little creativity that they simply made a new civ conforming to an Old One's standards without knowing it. Is this the connec...
