The golden code/light is the most important code created and was transported in Marcellus Wallace’s briefcase in the previous version of the matrix, the pulp fiction matrix

A blind homeless man guards the elevator door leading to the Oracle in the first Matrix movie. Morpheus nods to the blind man after exiting the elevator with Neo. The homeless blind man nods back to Morpheus.

Me in 2004: Explaining the Matrix to everyone, all the time. Me in 2021: Watching every video on this channel over and over again.

Who else noticed the Fractal Patterns in the Golden Light?

The golden light is the machines' souls, IMO, a way of showing machines are real sentient beings, a fact that was never accepted before and that led to the war...

In matrix reloaded, neo pulled the bullet from trinity. They both had regular code. I’m guessing he became enlightened as the series progresses.

The golden code are conscious programs. If it was base reality he would have seen trinity golden.

The yellow chakra Is named Manipura. The literal translation is: City of jewels. I don’t know if there’s something there...? The beautiful sky that Sati creates for Neo has all the chakra colors. When the chakras are in a state of balance, energy flows freely thru the body, mind, spirit. Just like if the Matrix is a body (construct or framework as Lana puts it) that achieved a state of balance at the end of Revolutions. Worlds within worlds within worlds, that try to achieve balance, go out of it and try to get back to it, in an infinite cycle, while evolving.

The Gold or Yellow light is machine energy (wirelessly connected), the real world is Blue (tint used when Neo is in the real world). Mix the two colors and you get Green. The Matrix, where the soul of machine and man exist in the realm.

In an IT perspective, I think the golden code is the source code while the green code is just object (machine) code. That is why Neo can use his powers in the “real world”. To truly escape from the matrix, Neo shouldn’t see any code.

The scene of Neo going blind also reminds me of the allegory of the cave. In this instance, Neo has to throw off the shackles and vestiges of the flesh in order to see past the illusion of shadows that is the real world in order to be able to see real light. Deus Ex also appearsas a baby to someone who is "blind", but to Neo, who is now unchained, he can see the sun for what it really is.

What if John Wick, John Constantine, Johnny Silverhand, and Johnny Pneumonic are all the former incarnations of Neo from the previous iterations of the simulation... I just find it curious he has played so many 'Johns' and it just happens to be a trivial placeholder moniker for an unknown entity, or... THE ANOMALY. Funny that his initials in the sim are T.A. (teacher's assistant) and his only real preordained purpose was to be ultimately re absorbed into the source. So basically he gained all that experience and offered it up to enhance the next class's syllabus. I find it funny that those connections exist yet nobody that I've seen have ever gone down that rabbit hole of theory.

4:07 In this clip used throughout the video, the golden light forms briefly into fractal patterns. I cant believe I never saw this. These patterns are all over nature and are beautiful symbols of infinity, yin and yang, and parallel worlds. I think it lines up perfectly with the ideas expressed here.

I think the golden light was just Neo's perception of the Machine Code, he lost his physical sight and adapted by tapping in to the machines visual matrix (like Augmented reality) that they use to navigate the physical construct that is Machine City.

The explosion of the golden light seems to look like the Mandelbrot set! A world within a world and so on never ending.

I often disagree with your theories but this one is right one. One of your best videos. Very well done. More like this, please.

Something you missed mentioning about the golden light, is that at the beginning of the movie when the big bang flash occurs, the golden light also features The Golden Ratio (The Fibonachy Sequence), a very deep piece of understanding of our reality. Also at 10:43 INSIDE THE MIDDLE OF THE HALF MOON LOOKING SIMBOL THERE IS A HALF HUMAN FACE! (LIKE THE ONE ON MARS) I JUST REALISED! IT IS CLEAR AS DAY! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?

FINALLY, the LOST and Matrix crossover I've been waiting for.

I agree. When Agent Smith "jumped to real world" and Neo stopped machine by his hand I realised they didn't wake up, only jumped from a one dream to another. Or from nested dream to upper level by Mr. Cobb.

Gold light is 100% showing that the real world is the next level of the program

Neo sees golden code because he is looking at two versions of reality. The physical realm and the spiritual realm. He can different worlds as he comes to the end of his journey.

The unknown symbol is obviously a waveform that DECIDED to split into 2 separate paths and then closed in on itself and remained branched. Which happens to look like a timeline turning into a crescent moon. Which itself is beautifuly ironic because the crescent moon is just 1 celestial body standing in between 2 things.

The golden light could be the GOD Code that which is intertwined in everything

The Golden Light for the intro are fractals.. everything is a fractal!

This is the best explanation of the Matrix Explained. So much theory that makes one go back and watch the movies over again. Im sure anyone following this account is watching “The Matrix trilogy”, over, over, and over a million times over! 🤣 I have all 3 movies but regular view, and just bought them again in 4K 😇😁

Why did Smith's code go from green to gold? Neo doesn't see the golden light within other human bodies. It's either machines or higher level programs. That has been consistent. There seems to be more of a logical explanation somewhere rather than the metaphysical one.

The gold code could be the machines version of Divinity

I have been looking for this video for a week or so, glad I found it again :)

I think that the golden light does represent something metaphysical. However, I view the entire Matrix Trilogy of an allegory of many philosophies and religions, most notably Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity, but I am more familiar with those from my own personal studies so I might be biased to notice those more than other philosophies that are present in the movie, which no doubt are there with the book like "Simulations and Simulacra" showing up in the movie. I've always thought that Matrix Revolutions was trying to imply that the real world is just another layer that we still need to "wake up" from with the golden code being revealed. However, in the mythos of The Matrix world, I also consider the possibility that the "real world" might just be another layer in The Matrix and not actually the real world. It will be interesting to see if Matrix 4 expands on what the gold code is, and I really hope that it does.

@4:04 The burst of golden light is reminiscent of the Mendelbrot set, which when imaged exhibits "an elaborate and infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recursive detail at increasing magnifications." Does this imply infinite levels of reality within the matrix?

One thing that contradicts this theory at places: When Smith assimilates with The Oracle, none of them have a Golden Code. It seems like things acquire a Golden Code when a machine has a body outside The Matrix. None of those Smith have a Golden Code, but the one that escapes does.

Great content man

i think both the golden light and code are representations of transcendency beyond original purpose regardless of being part of the matrix or the physical world. Every individual or thing that displayed the golden code have gone beyond their purpose. Trinity for instance never went beyond her purpose, she just followed neo in whatever he did as meant to be but Seraph was a consious program that went way beyond it's purpose even tough he is bound by his mantra. The Merovingian could very well be just still working as intended even tough it's considered exile by the current matrix cycle. Also If neo, like in other fan theories mentioned, had something like wireless control over machines, why wouldnt he then just not deactivate DEM and rescue literally everyone inside and outside the matrix? He chose to safe both sides and i think that's what the Matrix movies embody; existence and the symbiotic relationship of existence that the 2 sides formed. Neo himself never had the golden light in him. he saw himself as pure negative, or as absence of light. up until the point of him seemingly dead in mahcine city he was just fullfilling his purpose, but after saving both worlds we could see him as the most brightest light, even outshining the entirety of machine city and DEM itself. He transcended beyond his purpose.

Looking at the Matrix 3 opening sequence (at 3:57 here), all there is shown is what is called Infinite Compositions (see the Wiki page or google that). Which is infinite application of a function to the value it returns. Fractals is a class of them. Bear with me. Let's analyze the opening sequence. It may lead us to the meaning of the yellow code. 3:58 - [Yellow] rays of lights : self replicating expansion f_n (z) = z + g_n (z), where n=1,2,3,..., f and g are two functions 4:00 to 4:05 - [Yellow] Julia set: f_c(z) = c + z^2, where c is a complex number 4:06 to 4:12 - [Green] City blocks. It's representing the "metropolis set", whose formula is a little big. 4:13 to 4:22 - [Green] the Symbol on the background of lines leading to/from it. I can't find a specific fractal for that, but it looks like: a) a boundary of the Mandelbrot set, which is another representation of the Julia set and vice-versa. b) a segment of a bifurcation diagram (google that) displaying *spontaneous* emergence of order from chaos 4:23 onwards - [Green with Blue] "real world" with people surrounded by wires and computers are looking at the screen with Matrix code. If we think of it, the opening sequence repeats what we know about the Matrix world: 1. After becoming conscious, machines started to self-replicate conscious machines with ever-increasing (ray-like) complexity of consciousness. 2. They transformed the material world to create an intricate civilization. 3. They entrapped and structured intrinsically chaotic human consciousness by placing it into a hierarchical city block-like setting 4. Projection of the blocks of control from above onto the human mind, makes the human obedient and predictable and thus lacking true consciousness. Yet, because human mind is inherently chaotic, sooner or later, by chance, from the chaos of a single human's mind, at the boundary of chaos and order, there will be a self-emerging consciousness independent from the City block control mechanisms. This person self-realizes as the One. 5. The One wakes up in the real world, while being able to observe the City control code. Note the modern definition of the CIty, Metropolis by Cacciari in 1976: " from the social circles dominant within it, from its form - an uprooting from the place (as a place of dwelling) connected to dwelling. The city ʻdepartsʼ along the streets and axes that intersect with its structure. The exact opposite of Heideggerʼs Holzwege, they lead to no place." So, the City in Matrix a form of social structuring imposed the city block structure. Note that Mr. Anderson's is socially conditioned by being placed in a Metropolis fractal consisting of bocks within blocks: a cubicle within an office within a skyscaper within a block within .... all going to infinity of the Matrix City structure. His interactions with his boss and the boss of his boss, etc are shaped accordingly. Also note that the Machine City does not have the block-like structure of the Matrix City. In that sense, there is more freedom in the machine world than in Matrix. So, this supports the idea that the yellow code is the machine self-aware and self-transforming conscious code. As opposed to the "fixed" green code of the City. After infecting the self-aware code of the Oracle, Smith becomes self-aware too and is seen as yellow code. Neo sees the entire Machine city as yellow code. The yellow tunnel where Neo walks represents another form of Infinite composition fractal (likely a continued fraction one). So, when we see machines in blue, we see their physical side, when we see yellow, we see their self-aware code side. Neo sees them as code without looking at them physically. This means that his consciousness was already connected with the consciousness of machines before he comes to the Machine city. And it's the consciousness that perceives code as code, in the Matrix or in the real world. In Matrix I and II Neo's own code is shown as green. This means that he himself is a part of the Matrix City-block control system and he is not self-aware. And this is indeed what the Architect reveals to him. Oracle also told Neo that he was not woken up yet. In the Matrix I and II Neo is effectively a part of non self-aware exception-handling mechanism designed by self-aware machines. Seraph, Oracle and Architect are self-aware code that make and modify other, non-self-aware code. They are the ones who build this mechanism. They are not humanity's friends. By feeding cookies to Neo, Oracle tweaked his green code how it was required. In Matrix III, Agent Smith's code is shown yellow only in the real world of humans, while he is possessing a real human. So, by merging with Oracle, his code became self-aware and self-modifying. Machines' existence was not threatened (they can erase the Matrix because it's isolated). Humans' was. Clearly, machines didn't want humans to die (!). In the end, he merges with Neo's code he wants erase Neo's human consciousness. At the same time, in the real world, the machines connect Neo's consciousness with the Source (the White code) and thus assimilate Smith with the Source. Then they clean up the Matrix code from Smith's modifications and reboot the Matrix.

wow, this channel just keeps offering great stuff!

The mist important video you have released...thank you

I think the Golden light is the intensity of will for wanting to live with choice. The will to live free, and not conform to the Architect design and Matrix rules. This power is depicted in both good and evil vessels.

The symbol -- code -- shown at the start of Revolutions has been described as a "bull symbol". This video has helped me realize what this may symbolize.

Dude just found your channel a few days ago. Subbed and have been binge watching video after video, its fascinating 😀

Matrix literally follows the Vedic philosophy, at every step. From nirvana to reincarnation to looking inside. The war between good and bad, the need for the balance of power, following your given dharma (the code), what will happen has already been written, the architect and the nurturer concept (Oracle is so close to Krishna in her thinking and the way he guided Arjuna), the levels of life, pursuit of reality. All of this and much more has already been explored by Vedic texts.

This movie series is a legendary achievement of spirituality and intelligence.

When I was a small child I would have dreams with golden light enveloping everything around me. When I would wake up from these dreams I would experience an overwhelming sense of blissful peace and happiness. The code is real

Also in Dune, Paul Atreides, becomes the One, a messiah (Muad'dib) who lost his eyes and has the ability to see with his inner eye. He sees the Golden Path, a way for human kind to persist. So does his son Leto who becomes Godlike. These stories probably draw inspiration from the same sources.

Love this channel dudes voice is peaceful to listen to

It might be the case that neo was connected to machines in a wireless network and the gold light represents the level of inteligence or conciousness of the being connected to the network. This might also explain the differnt levels of inteligence in machines (according to their objective) and the brightness of deux machina.

You all forgot to mention that the Gold code carries some Fibonacci symbolism... and you can see it in the fractal's proportions... the Fibonacci proportion is called the Divine proportion because it's a something that we see in all nature, especially in living forms. We hear about it in the beginning of the talk with the Architect "Altough... remain irrevocably human"... This means that Neo is transitioning from a human form to a God. And as much he reaches this form as more the Oracle must oppose and unbalance his escalation, because the goal of the Oracle is to refine and define Neo until he's ready to control everything, to become a God. The Architect's upgrade indeed... An Architect with roots in the human "lesser" minds... Everything that has a beginning has an end, when the process of creating a new God is "done" and now Neo as a God must understand it, he has to fuse with the other mortals that had lost "HOPE" becoming greedy and materialistic.... this is represented by Smith's multiple spread getting all the humans connected to the Matrix. The "sacrifice" of God then is equal to "Eucaristia" where he splits and return hope to all the citizen's of the Matrix, including the ones in Zion.... "Hmph....Hope.... Hope is the quintessential...." This has also a dark connection on the beginning of the movie... where Cypher and Trinity talks about sacrificing Neo... This leads to a deeper level of reading the movie, like a cheat code, where you can identify any male and female character playing the part of the Oracle and the Architect (O and A.... Omega and Alpha)... Remember, the path of the One is the path of the many....

Let me throw a curve ball into this thought process. Back in the days when Mainframes was considered High Tech, all processing started in the Mainframe and through Network Systems connected to other less powerful computers (PCs). Eventually, whatever is typed on the PCs will have to make its way back to the Mainframe to be stored and a reaction may be sent back to the PC for further use.

The *Golden Light* has become personally the biggest mystery of my life everyday going back well past a decade now.... This video helps me to figure this anomaly out.... Excellent video!

That symbol gives me a Headache cause it could refer to any number of symbols and Symbolism. It could be one of the Alchemical forms of Mercury. It could be a Form of the Astrological Symbol for the Lunar Apogee, a changed form of the Black Moon Lilith. It could simply mean Moonrise as a Counterpoint to the Sunrise at the End of the Trilogy. Could also be one of the Simplified symbols for the Holy Grail. Arghhhh.

I feel like you hit the nail on the head when you suggested Neo would 'see' Zion painted in gold light if he went there blind; the gold code/light IMHO is a symbol of life; of conciousness. I've always thought that since a rewatch and noticing that the harvesters in the human fields have little splotches of gold light inside their tentacles - they'd be human infants, all shining gold along with the machines... However - the question becomes, why couldn't Neo see Trinity in gold, only Smith and the machines? I think we're going to get an answer in Matrix; Resurrections! The One is actually a three part being; Neo, Smith and Trinity all combine to be 'The One', the result and remainder of the equation that makes the Matrix stable. Well. That's my current theory, and I'm sticking to it. This week. XD

It's not the answers you provide, it's the questions you ask and your search for truth! Thanks for the videos!!

This makes ALL the sense.

The fractal pattern of the golden light during the intro sequence is almost identical to the pattern seen in machine city.

Gold light always reminded me of the Zion archives female avatar from the animatrix.

Amazing 👏

Your channel is fascinating dude.

Well, since it's February. It won't be much longer for the Matrix 4 trailer

There's something hidden in revolutions intro. I think it's showing us that man and machine are the same, and it's a representation of the soul. This is referenced in the second renaissance. Humans and machines appear as gold. You can see it in the fields, the babies are illuminated.

Excellent

This is very interesting!

Let's look at this considering those involved. We know some programs have golden code while inside the Matrix. Is this the same as the real world golden light? Would that mean Smith had golden code too since he had the golden light in the real world? Also, if Neo really has golden code inside the Matrix, we can see at 0:42 that he does not have the golden light, unless he can't see his own light, or they hid his light so we could see him? He does get "the light" when he's used to wipe out Smith, but that was probably just temporary. Still, I'm wondering if the golden code has a direct relation to the golden light at all. Second point, while golden code is very rare and unique, even a common sentinel has the golden light, so it can't really be anything special, rather something more fundamental to that reality. There's also the moment when the sentinel's "spirit" or afterimage goes through the ship and hits Neo's senses, meaning that it's not directly related to physical bodies, but I'd say this needs further investigation. Lastly, at 1:13 we see a harvesting field with the machine city in the distance. We can clearly see the concentration of golden light in the harvester's core components, as well as what seems to be human pods. At 8:51, we can see even inanimate objects have the golden light, essentially cables. We can also see how Neo creates ripples in it as he moves. While there might be a more meta-physical meaning, this might all be explained as the flow of some kind of energy. It can gather in places, it flows like the matrix code, it gets ripples like -still water- the fabric of space-time and it also irradiates in all directions. And when a very complex task was executed, it was concentrated in Neo's body to reach and destroy all Smith copies inside the simulation at the same time.

In coding going gold means to have completed and able to be sent out units of the code so golden code should be the origin of the finalized version of ai

Great breakdown

wow.. mind blowing!! 👍👍💪💪

''in the end, nothing really matters'' i love what you said (had some thoughts of Linkin Park XD)

Neo saw the smith being on fire. That is different than the straight golden light. No one ever really asks why those beings were on fire? Did he see the evil nature inside. Did that make them appear as flames? If so then I think that means Neo was using his third eye to see which makes sense. The golden light was his spiritual vision mode turned on.

That talk with the Wachowskis is a must watch for all filmmakers and film fans.

This is so fascinating....intricate....multifaceted....

neo can see the souls of the living and when he sees the code he all the sudden realizes the machines are alive like him and have souls

In the end of Matrix Revolutions, A musical theme plays (navras). It's lyrics is nothing but shlokas of Sanskrit which clearly indicates this golden light connects with ancient indian Vedik Sanatan Dharma. According my framework of meaning..🙏🏼

best one thus far

I have no words to describe how wonderful this video is.

Boy if y'all don't commission Tool for the OST

The explosion of golden light in the beginning of Revolutions takes the shape of fractals

Software written in different languages appear as different color code. I'm certain that if there were a little more consideration given to the movie constructs that different software functions would be written in different languages that would reflect what functions are fulfilled. Also, it's easy to see the limitations of the knowledge that conceived of the idea of a "mainframe". Computer mainframes have been all but abandoned since the early 1990's.

It dose not matter how much you thought you knew bout the matrix befor you came to this channle you gonna learn sum everytime

I think, from a certain point of view it could be a type of yin and yang.

What if the Golden code is consciousness? Machines are sentient beings or part of The Sentient Being. I believe some of the Animatrix series touch on this. Neo being able to see Golden code might mean him being able to see beyond the physical, he sees consciousness...

Interesting.

Theory: When Bane and his crew member coming from the matrix (Matrix Reloaded) running away from Smith; he says to his crew member that the only important thing is the package that is to be delivered to Neo. Bane is then assimilated by Smith; but in Zion Neo is then presented with this hardware-like cartriage by Bane's ship captain Ballard (the theory part) which is then followed by Neo telling Trinity that it's time to go... this is followed up by him walking in the market about to meet Seraph in the Matrix and seeing him in this *golden light. (To further support the theory) In the same manner that Tank (Dozer's brother) plugs in cartridge hardware to teach/download fight simulations for Neo in the training simulator; the same could be said occurs with this Bane/Ballard's cartridge when Neo suddenly sees light in all programs coming from the source🙂

Golden code = Enlightenment Enlightened to what, is the question.

The "golden light" is the specific type of life energy that flows through all living machines and Zero One the Machine City, it's also the energy/impulses flowing through their nervous system. this energy came from the central power node the Source (it distributes the energy/power from all humans in the "Power Plant") channeled via the three huge power lines back to the Source at the heart of the Machine City (The Source is also the mainframe of Zero One) That golden light energy is an analogy to Prana (the life force essence in all living things) This meta-symbolically is showing that all machines and their city have a soul and they are all alive

Similar to the Problem that Neo, in his converstation with the architekt, identifies as "choice"... The golden light symbolizes that what comes BEFORE choise or control or will, the ultimate source that the machines and humans inhabit/inherit but will never understand fully: Believe

That is why I love the Matrix so much... It's not just another movie series... it is way more than that.

The symbol right at the start after both coded colours were shown looks like the head of a ox, which, (reaching here lol) is coincidently the Chinese New year that's just started, and the same year Neo will return to the silver screen. Cue x-files theme.

mean since neo is the anomaly, he has the sight to see beyond everything. Since his powers work in the normal world as well as in the matrix, it makes sense that the golden code is a representation of the machines, since he connected to them in one way or another. He exists because the machines need him to exist, the whole zion loop relies on the existence of him.

This franchise doesn't deserve this channel

i completely agree. tool reference as well

The golden light is showing that the “real world” is also a simulation. It’s a simulation God made and the Matrix is a simulation humans made. I believe the Matrix 4 will show the TRUE real world (wherever God and the angels live). I believe Seraph was one of the angels because his aura was golden. Angels are just electricity, that’s why they can inhabit both the “real world” simulation AND “the matrix” simulation (and theoretically any simulation that relies on electricity).

The golden code could be saying that the collective concussiness IS what makes all of reality.

I wonder if the blind guy that was by the elevator who was guarding the oracle, since the matrix is in essence a cycle as has been clearly established, was one of the "predecessors" of neo from previous versions of the matrix?

This is the most important episode to understand the whole thing.

Christ & Messiah Eclipse Neo & Smith Crier & Hammer Tyr & Thor Unknown symbol is Aleph a picture of Ox Head. AX Whether those writers now it or not, Matrix is a near exact replica of Bible.

This is weird.. During my first psychedelic trip. I saw a man sitting down in meditation position glowing in bright yellow light. I swear god that's what I saw.

The explosion of the golden code is to be understood as a cosmic egg giving life to the matrix, later on, shown as the green code. Golden code is something essential giving birth to to all lesser forms of code.

Neo always reminded me a little bit of Paul Atreides

what if the golden light is Sati (Rama-Kandra and Kamala).. and although it seems she is being protected, she IS the protection

The entire matrix universe takes place in purgatory.

Thematically, this sounds right on. But the universe of the Matrix has always been careful to ground its mysteries in technological explanations. So I'm inclined to go further here and suggest that a more literal theory is also likely. Perhaps Neo has through his deep connection to the code of the matrix been attuned to the wireless signals of the machines. Being blinded, he's now able to feel them like certain animals can feel faint electrical currents. There is scientific precedence for developing stronger senses in lieu of sight, which is probably the basis for the mystic third eye concept.

I am definitely late, but here is my take on this: Translucent gold light is the hardware which in this case are robots and machines. The moving gold light is the energy it takes to run the hardware. Green codes are thoughts, consciousness and sub-consciousness made by machines/robots in their minds (A.I.). Depending on your take, there is a machine brain or there are many machine brains that are linked together to create the Matrix. The architect, the oracle, the seraph have real hardware that are connected to the machine brain, I cannot say what form each of them take because of evidences of various shapes and sizes for robots. For the sake of simplicity, think of this as the working model of "Cloud Storage": There are Robots (aka The architect, the oracle, the seraph etc) that are connected to Data Storage Servers (aka the Matrix) that is connected to the client (aka the Humans) via a control node (aka the Agents). My theory for the gold color is confirmed: 1. when NEO "sees" Smith in green in first movie and in Gold in the real world meaning Smith got a real body. 2. when NEO has to searches for Trinity "blindly", finds her and realizes that she is impaled via his sense of touch. NEO becomes the only "Machine-Like human" among the humans and sees the Machine World digitally (aka Third Eye).
