** I don't even think it's that complicated; basically, imagine that Desmond from the VideoGame/AssassinsCreed had the ability to design a video game that would only exist within the world of ''Assassin's Creed''; he would be writing code into a world that is made up of code, so unless he was writing in a very different language--maybe even then--he would be affecting the world's code by writing his game's code. Add to that Neo's RealityWarper powers, and it all falls into place.

** It was established in the Animatrix that the machines figured out the entirety of human biology, something that our sciences are not even close to achieve. If there is a way to bring back people from death, it makes perfect sense that they know how to do it.

* Why do they get in and out of the Matrix using mirrors now? I mean, from a writing standpoint I get that they needed something to replace phone booths, ''and'' that it ties into the AliceAllusion themes that the series has always had, but I mean from a ''technical'' standpoint. With phone lines it makes sense because they're a literal connection to the computer, but mirrors are just surfaces that reflect light.

** When The Analyst was building his new system he set things up so that he could move himself or others around via mirrors in a manner that would screw with Neos head making him think he was simply having a psychiatric breakdown. An excellent way to maintain control on it's own but it also creates a systematic weak point just like the phone system did in the old Matrix. In short for the system to function it needs to be interconnected allowed programs to move expediently, the current one simply uses mirrors rather then a phone system due to the focus of the system being different.

** The Analyst off handedly does mention that having Agents take over humans was expensive for various reasons; he implies that part of it was that the increasing cost of Agents and their pursuit of redpills was getting impractical. And in general, bodysurfing requires a human (mind) to be in a desirable location - meaning they need a reason to be somewhere and also have a means of getting there. Whereas a bot can just be told to be somewhere and use wireless access points to 'teleport' there.

** Also, this was the incident that lead Bugs to start breaking through the facade. And given that we know how the Matrix can make false memories and otherwise distort perception, it may have been hard for Bugs to realize what was real or not until much later. And there may have been other measures to screw with tracing Neo, insofar as a casual look. If nothing else, having the maker of the Matrix be Neo seems like a giant obvious ploy/trap so it might have been avoided or ignored.

** I think the message of the movie is that there is no One (as Neo repeatedly says, he never believed he was The One), but rather that with strong enough motivations, and a lot of faith, anyone could potentially be The One, and Neo's devotion to Trinity and her faith in him is what made them capable of the things that were believed only possible for The One.

** Additionally, that place was a memorial for the people who perished in Zion and their leader. Each candle represented someone who perished.
