The mirror thing is exclusive to the Analyst’s version of the Matrix that we see in Resurrections. “Io” is their new home after Zion was destroyed.
Ah!
Ok, ok, that makes sense… I have not committed the 4th movie to memory anywhere near as much as I have with the OT era stuff.
I think there was an interview with one of the Wachowskis that implied the liquid mirror was just Neo’s reality bending experience. Other people may experience different types of hallucinations, and even other people in the room may not see what their hallucination is. They are probably just observed to fade out into code like when they use a telephone.
I remember that as well, and I agree that your minor extraploation at the end seems likely.
…
I appreciate you expanding on the details I forgot =P
…
Though I would add that the Animatrix shows that the uh, exiting the Matrix phenomenon… may be different for self-substantiators… the Kid is reported as dead after his ‘leap of faith’.
IIRC, there are scenes of an actual funeral? His parents mourn him as dead? Its a whole local news phenomenon that he ‘suicided’?
It could be that his uh… Matrix-physical? body did not evaporate into code…
…or it could be that the Matrix / the Agents executed an elaborate coverup, that the Kid’s ‘body’ did ‘code evaporate’, and they just whipped up a doppleganger body and gaslit/intimidated the hell out of any witnesses of the body ‘evaporating’, faked all the media coverage, etc.
