      The android, named B1-66ER, kills its owner, his pets, and a mechanic instructed to deactivate the robot, the first incident of an artificially intelligent machine killing a human. B1-66ER is arrested and put on trial, but justifies the crime as self-defense, stating that it “simply did not want to die”.

      Preach.

        I like the one about the runner, and the fact that people can break themselves out of the matrix if they are strong enough. I think they said there was a couple, was the Kid one of them? Give us more stories like that!

        Also Matriculated was the first thing to show that the machines can join the humans side, prolly where they got the premise for resurrection.

        If you like matriculated, watch the YouTube video I posted in another comment.

        But yeah, if you like the premise of the matrix and haven’t seen all of the animatrix shorts, give them a watch.

          Ah yes, “self-substantiation.” I also liked how it intentionally added to the mythos of the kid that was nodded to in the movies, sort of a lesson in there is no single path to enlightenment/ascension.

            Yes! I knew there was a name for it but I haven’t nerded out on the matrix in a while.

            I don’t really wanna write for wb, but a cool idea would be that the matrix patched the ability to take a red or blue pill, so they have to come up with a new way, some kind of Dmt smoking shit that catapults you out of your pod.

            Another new way to self-substantiate would be cool. We’ve seen the kid jumping off the roof and the runner running, maybe something like ego death? Massive lsd trip gets you out?

              I could see that too, perhaps a plot about a drug that forces either self-substantiation or death.

              I think it’s about drastically defying what the system predicted you could do, be it outrunning your own perceived physical limitations, or just as with the jump skill, fully committing to the unreal nature of the world like the kid.

              We got a glimpse at how the architect governed the Matrix, and we can clearly see he’s obsessed with pattern prediction and it’s role on system stability, "as you adequately put, the problem is choice"

              My pet theory about self-substantiation is that it comes out of a user causing an error of extreme, logic defying, committed choice that could bring down portions of the entire system because everything and everyone is interconnected, leading to emergency expulsion.
