Purpose

This wiki is dedicated to The Matrix franchise.

The Matrix saga tells of a war between a human resistance and a race of sentient Machines who imprison humanity within a virtual reality known as the Matrix. The Matrix films center on The One, a man with a special ability and an important destiny. Woven throughout the main story of the Matrix are various threads of background stories that cut across different mediums, including the films as well as comics, video games, and an animated film series.

Beyond the surface story, the Matrix is rich in explorations and allusions to various questions in philosophy, theology, psychology, sociology, politics, and computer science.

Featured Article

The Paradise Matrix is a term which refers to the first prototype Matrix. This very first version of the Matrix was designed by The Architect to control and pacify humanity by putting their minds into a constructed virtual reality. Unlike later versions, it simulated a perfect utopian world without suffering. However, humanity did not accept this early version of the Matrix, and many of those connected died. A second prototype, based on human history, was then designed in place of the first one to more accurately reflect the unpleasant aspects of human nature.
