Normally, you only get disconnected and "flushed" away upon dying. So I suppose that the "sewers" Neo ended up in should be the liquefaction facility where the dead normally end up. Maybe the dying are disconnected some time before their bodies give up so that they don't just slump dead in the Matrix after their real bodies give up? Which could be why anyone disconnected via a red pill is also just assumed dead?

I see!

To recap, there’s probably some program that boots near-death humans, so Docbots don’t need to kill the ones that wake up.

Imagine how different the movies would’ve been if said program operated within the actual Matrix, and not the pods.

Actually that is incorrect. The Docbot's don't know anything about red pills, they just tend to the pods, inspect any disturbances and flush anyone that has woken up, there is no procedure to reconnect people.

The place Neo was dumped in to is a pool that will liquify him slowly to be fed to the others. To answer your question about Agents, they are designed to stop the resistance from succeeding and keep their efforts in check, this ensures the necessity of 'The One' for the resistance.

There is no information to suggest Agents understand the PP, The One, or any of that. Only the Architect and the Oracle know.

Some bluepills occasionally wake up in their pods and are afterwards re-integrated into the Matrix. So not everyone is automatically assumed dead and flushed. But in all such instances so far, there were also no physical disconnections shown so there aren't any known physical re-connection protocols that the Docbots follow.

Maybe the Matrix programming is sophisticated enough to know who is or isn't dead? And that the red pills trip up the system to make the Matrix think that the person who took it died since, after all, everyone was concerned that Neo could die after taking one.

My apologies.

"Some bluepills occasionally wake up in their pods and are afterwards re-integrated into the Matrix."

Do you have a source for this information?

The oriental culture shown in the matrix deserves our attention, especially the Kung Fu clips shot in Hong Kong. Yes, Chinese Kung Fu is very attractive, which we have to admit.

@Laienrer I guess…but what does that have to do with this question?

Edit: Checked cuz I was curious, and I don’t think any scenes in the trilogy were filmed in Hong Kong.

I agree that Hong Kong is beautiful, though :)
