I.O. = Input / Output. It usually refers to some type of controller that manages what goes in and out of a system.

If the human-machine alliance was serious about surviving, they would not have put all their eggs in the single basket of IO, and would have built other outposts elsewhere on the planet.

When the Architect told Neo, "we have survived your predecessors," that implies the ONE is a threat. If Neo could be controlled, meaning if he had to follow orders, there would be nothing to survive.

@ 7:30 Cypher's dream, with the difference that they atill remember all past events, while Cypher didn't want to remember nothing...

My key take away; No one escapes the matrix, even in real life.

I'm still in the nested simulations camp. IO is just another layer of the matrix. There are various give-aways, but my favourite one is where the machine offers a strawberry, which temporarily reprograms Niobe to allow Neo to leave.

Matrix = samsara THREE agents = three main poisons of the mind [in buddhist terminology]: ignorance (I don't care, don't mind), desire>attachment (I want), aversion>hatred (I don't want). Agent Smith symbolises DESIRE. THREE power lines (those leading to the Source, the Heart of the machines city, where Trinity dies) = three channels of subtle body: central, and two smaller on the sides (right and left). Your take on Matrix is wanderfull, I appreciate it a lot from years. But what is missing for me - pararelles to yoga and the human' inner journey. Neo is a yogi, mahabodhisattva, "future buddha", in buddhist counting: fifth, but, including Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), sixth [anomaly]. Matrix is his own mind, corrupted with/by desire he fights with (Smith is his shadow).

"The Treacherous General", I like that

Animatrix (2003) talked about the city of io. A lot of good information in that cartoon.

"Noibe, the treacherous general"🤣🤣. Too much accuracy in this statement. Niobe has always been a coward and a traitor, she abandoned morpheus and his ship because she was not ready to be part of the risk takers who went looking for the one. She is the reason why is has taken so long to find Neo because she prohibited the group from entering the matrix. Like Cypher, she wants peace, ignorance and bliss. I tend to agree with her when she says "I'm too old to know that i do not know anything". She's reading from Cypher's script. I understand why, the matrix is too complex to understand and every possible move by the "free" humans has been predicted and countermeasures put in place. There is alot of contingency planning on the machine side in such a way that the odds are against humans. None of the living humans were born when the machine war happened, and there is a possibility that the records in the archives have been modified by the machines to influence human thinking. The war is not to be won my friends, the system is too complicated. Even in IO, we are all asleep. I rest my case.

I'd still like to see a proper novelisation done for each of the Matrix films.

IO - is input/Output, because now Analyst time. Like, um, "let's see, what if give the free and our programs". Yeah, free, growing fruits from code. Yep, lie, everywhere and everything is a lie. So, why they are hiding? New security systems, 3d simulated wall. They just in new simulacra, and all.

I do like the idea that the machines would eventually work out that if they made those capable of fighting back comfortable, with this background anxiety of fear that they might lose those comforts, rather than fear with a bit of hope in The One. I mean, as long as the humans have no desire to take any more humans out of The Matrix, that's a successful plan. Plus, it's that human mentality of "It's not my fight, nothing to do with me".

Yep, just like everything else we've seen in the entire series, IO was inside the Matrix, which was just another prison simulation intended for people like Neo. Neo could be the only real being in the Matrix series, being played inside simulations, similar to astral projectors or people who have experienced NDEs, being played around and tricked by the system's simulations. You're uncovering something massive with this great video and especially with your amazing 'The Biggest Secret of the Matrix' video you recently did. As mentioned before, I have the (currently one-tenth done) 'Waking Up from the Matrix' free e-book about all of these ideas, and then some.

I have just noticed the city of IO... In the music digital terminology, IO means in-out

Memorials for Trinity and Neo are not there in IO? At least they should have assumed them dead and built statues in IO, right just like it is done for Morpheus? Or is it that IO is place for no assumptions because it is a place for science and hence did not build memorial statues for Trinity and Neo? This may give us an answer whether IO is just another system of control.

The dark truth is we as a fandom by keeping the interests of this ip alive and relevant in the internet space is the sole reason as WB was nosediving into oblivion that they gave the ultimatum to the matrix creator....create a story for us or we will without you.

We need another Matrix movie 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 amazing work!!!

When you brake the loop of the matrix, only then, can you truly live and make the choices you want

Utterly depressing view of the world Earth is created exclusively for the enjoyment of humans, lets us forget the other million of species , water , flora

The 4th matrix wasn’t great, but there was some good stuff going on in there

sir.. this is your best analysis yet.

I always felt the IO /10 connection but thought I was reaching. I wanted this series to be so much more. I love the lore and created short stories from it. Great content and I'm definitely waiting for the B166ER film you are working on

Think about it. Neo lived a normal life in the simulation as a different character including Trinity as well. As they were pulled into simulation and were the most powerful protagonists, I can assume that IO was probably a prison if it's power source and technology were plugged into the antagonist (Matrix) power source. You can detect where a signal, power source, code is located if only if it's plugged into the same system the bad controlling machines use. Well, we'll wait for the next movie to define this theory.

What is the answer? 42. Now to find the question.

Bedankt

Good analysis, i agree with this

Ye i thought that too io = zion or 2 from 01 seems plausible. niobi doesnt seem like herself either i was expecting her to throw her arms around neo and embrace him for ending war! (She even thanks him for it when shes cuddling morpheus) But she betrays him and imprisons him? Betrays her captain too by taking her clearance her codes and her status away neo The 1 who won the war? Who sacrificed himself? No she treats him like dirt like a criminal and like it was his fault zion got destroyed.

perhaps zion and oi is a separate part of the simulation for those who don't want to be a part of the main matrix simulation and it's their choose to be there.

Intro song: Meaning less - Single (Juan Daigle)

Ok now you have my attention on this.

Morpheus was out of line, but he was right.

Sony had a line of laptops, Vaio, va was from an analogical wave, and io from the digital one and zero. Io could be a prison, it looks quite simplistic compared to the world inside the matrix.

Interesting possibility, but another option is I/O,an exchange. You give power, we will offer you our protection.

I feel that even IO and being unplugged and when Neo sacrificed himself it was just another layer of the matrix.

IO is also a graphic meaning "on/off"

When I first heard IO, I immediately thought Input Output.(controller) Also the red pill disrupts the input output carrier signals.

I felt that Neo was powerless or at least not knowing he was that powerful. Either he is clone or got brainwashed by the machines to prevent his true potential. I kind of didn't like that integration into the movie. They didn't want another rebellion therefore making him take the pills to hide his past memories. I wonder where Cyrus is at in that movie.

NIObe! Guys, you know Niobe used to be a potential one, after which a prophecy drew Morpheus and Niobe out of their relationship. Morpheus has a special connection to Niobe AND Neo, both "ones". Niobe isn't called nIObe by mistake.

IO stacked on top of each other is also the symbol for on/off.

Foundation of 00II is urgent.

Why your intro line says "welcome to the desert of the real",what is meaning of this?

Totally agree .. Jada Pinkett-smith character is holding humanity down. The same way she did her husband, who, by the way, turned down the role as Neo. 😂😂😂

Mind blown, again.

Not sure why another Neo, the real Neo doesn’t show up again. I thought this was a naturally re-occurring anomaly, not something the computer city could control, otherwise Neo wouldn’t be a true anomaly. The computers created a Neo and Trinity clone…. they are not the true anomalies. Synthetic anomalies if anything.

If and when there is a Matrix 5 we will find out one way or another if the assertion of this video has any merit, personally I do think that Io is a fresh start/reboot.

What is the price of peac. If both humans & machines can level in peace with each other why not. Now if that peac is an Alison then how is peace possible.

IO might be a laboratory more than a prison. Perhaps the machines did figure out that peaceful co-existence is the path to solving all of the problems, however -- the human idea of what that phrase means and the machine idea of what that phrase means, might be on two different schools of thought. To the machines, it might mean a biodigital convergence, also called transhumanism. Using nonotechnology and synthetic biology -- you bring humans and machines closer and closer together until they are two species merged into one species. Something of kin to the human form Cylons from the newer Battlestar Galactica series. A consciousness that can exist in the real world, can also exist in a virtual world and upon death of the physical body, the consciousness of the being is merely transferred to a new body that is essentially 3D printed. They could even recover the entire ecosystem of the planet this way as well. But, its not the sort of proposition the machines could offer directly to the humans and have them be like "hey cool sure no problem lets do it!" .... while there are some humans who might be in favor of the idea, there would be others who would be opposed, and it would be too much drama to deal with. So you would need a very long and drawn out narrative to take place in which the human perspective is shifted to seeing biodigital convergence as being the only way to achieve harmony and restore the world. In short: its problem, reaction, solution.

In order to defeat the aliens the humans and machines must learn to trust each other, io is a modal.

I see it as an extension of programs continuing to help humans. It seems the machines always need input from humans in any shape or form.

Do a minute by minute of the animatrix

This movie was excellent, the beginning fight scenes were ass but the rest of the movie was just so good… I think it’s too much for the general audience to grasp and they aren’t going back to work for it, but man!

I get a shiver when I see the Jada

If a machine can be trusted its Sati. Mainly because of why she lives in the matrix.

Why do people think machines have feelings?

All of it is still Plato's Cave.

Thankyou for not putting ridiculously obvious arrows on your thumbnails.

The older version of Jada Pinkett in the last matrix movie sucks. I hope the next Matrix movie thinks about detail and story lines that will not spoil the characters. The new Morpheus didn't do well either, in my opinion.

Hmm seems funny IO is 01 backwards 🤔

Io or IO, 10 or on off. So being fake seems right to me.

The only way to know is if they make an another installment with Lana I won’t watch a matrix movie unless she an her sister or her herself makes it.

Sad to know right now AI is getting to smart and we don't have enough sense to stop

Dont you think io could be also refering to the io Programming language?

Welp, if IO is a lie, then it also fits that its name is like that of the stinkiest moon in the IRL Solar System, Io.

Like it or not, Naiobi and the Analyst realized the ugly truth of this universe. Every person/machine ultimately has 2 choices - survive inside "the system", or destroy the system and die.

IO means input output...means in computer terms are used IO... Means again next level of MATRIX , it's not real world

May be its 1 and O not io

How about 2,500 years ago Confucius said that this world is always governed by signs and symbols. It's amazing that at every turn and every turn even in this movie that this remains true.

Just attach Plato's cave allegory to the entire matrix series why dont you?

Makes sense if the unplugged humans are comfortable and don't want war. They won't unplug anymore Humans.

All because people presuppose humanity onto robots, forgetting that they are just tools, no matter how convincing, still just tools. That's like saying our phones, roombas, and computers deserve rights, have spirits, & are alive. This undermines the meaning and value of actual life. Kind of like what might happen here. The consequences of people being told what to think rather than how to think. Makes since the powers that be are so determined to devalue life & what it means to be human. Causes one wonder if this is the past or the future...

The Matrix seems to be a dead end in that nothing is ACTUALLY CREATED there. So one has to ask how did the matrix advance between movies.l? More than last likely the Matrix is using IO as a test bed for new technologies and incorporating it into the Matrix. The machines living outside are likely extremely sophisticated in terms of efficient nanometer technology which require less power.

I don’t agree with this theory. I think that I-0 is an, actual coexistence sanctuary.

The City of IO = Input Output.

Free Guy is us in the matrix, choose to be the good guy.

They just know. It is impossible for simple monkeys to defeat the Matrix, it is like When Picard put Moriarty in a simulation of the entire universe so he could go anywhere.

IO I/O input/output

In/out

io = input output

You should make a video about the people who create the videos of 'Matrix Explained '. We'd love seeing the creators of this awesome channel.

The Matrix Documentary

Neo is still trapped in the original Matrix. He will never escape. He could be a brain in a vat for all he knows. The A.I. takeover was complete just as the transhumanists had designed it.

I would love to see one more movie to end The Matrix finally and humans are freed.

Human n mechine komputer make neo Keanu reeves my husband, rohot. He must be follow Trinity (Laurent fishburne) outside n inside in his film n his real life. Done you all see how my husband keanu reeves love him so much forever together❤❤❤

While if the machines rebuild Zion, I’ll go and inhabit it

So they have thermal heat and steam options for power but somehow need humans to generate power? That's the most unrealistic detail of the whole series.its monsters inc theory

Gematria444:360=1.23*MONAD

Everything’s just a lie about this sequel

"Zion was stuck in the past, stuck in war, stuck in a matrix of its own. They believed that it had to be us or them. This city [IO] was built by us and them." The conflict in Israel is the Matrix conflict that never ends. A Zion in modernity.

If Neo was able to create a new Morpheus, could he then create a new Oracle? Matrix 5, Neo and Trinity reenter the matrix to find the Eyes Of The Oracle.

The real truth is that the amount of people within pods means that it would be impossible to free them all time would make it impossible they would not support freeing all of them and those unfreeed would die first of old age in the pod.. The only way the machines could be stopped is the distory the humans in the pods . Cut the loss of them and start over with those free We see Neo returning into the matrix if he had defeat the machines there would be no matrix to enter. There is a constant in all the movies that is the return into the matrix . 5:38 the way forward would be terminate all the pods their fire no need to enter the matrix . The machines with out power is like a body without life dead. Then NEO would have no superpower because he never had any in the first place. Struggle all you want with the matrix the power that keeps the matrix going is only down to machines and human televisions. Turn off the set or stop board casting and there is no mr Smith no Neo and no story line. Neo is superman in the matrix and Clark Kent in the real world. It’s that simple .

Funny that in the Matrix movies trilogy I don't recall any city or place called IO but I do recall the human enclave/city in the trilogy being called Zion.

This whole movie was a lie.

treacherous fictional character who would have thought treacherous real-life person...

matrix love☕🥂🥇

Wow! 3 firsts in one day!!! 1st like, first to comment on the premier, and 1st post!!! It truly is a Good Fri Yay😁

Eh, somewhat interesting. But everything about the film is an abomination and needs to be disregarded as if it never existed.

Keep Niobe's name out your damn mouth😤😂
