The Sanford's uses the term "source"as a way to defined what is beyond what we know is real and unreal, inside and outside the matrix. The source is the evidence that help support what certain things are. they use the example from the matrix to explain that we know the people from Zion came from their parents but we don't know how it start or where it began. machines are produce by humans and by artificially intelligent machines. she is questioning how it all came to be. The Sanford's is trying tell us that all the stuff that happens in the matrix are not real and everything outside of the matrix is real. In order to distinguish this she contrast what we do know. The sources of all things in the matrix are the machines. The other way The Sanford's distinguish the real and the unreal is the term ontological status which define as the way things exist. the real world in the matrix does not depend on other for existence and stands on its own. the unreal world depends on things in the real world. so, as long as the machines keep running and generating in the real world, the unreal world could continue to function. The Sanford's explained it in a confusing way. I guess I understand a little of what they mean, The Real or The unreal.
To tell you the truth The Sanford's definiton was a little clear but I think that it could been explain more better becuase saying that the inside the matrix is not real is a little confusing becuase neo ask the same question when he ask morpyesis way he was bleeding and he though the matrix was not real and morphyesis said it's not it's in your mind. so, the mind is real and we all are an elusion of ourself. I don't really get it.

I agree with you, it all comes down to dependency. Without the earth the Matrix would not exist while the earth can exist on its own. Where you wrote about how you were little confused because when Neo asks morpheus why he was bleeding and he though the Matrix was not reall and Morpheus tells him it's not it's in your mind. I guess he is talkin about is that if your mind says that you're bleeding then most likely you are bleeding. That our mind is real and our body is not. So it's like our body depends on our minds to tell us what to do. So basically our bodies will not exist if the mind is gone. Hopefully this can clear it up a little. I was confused about at first but then I kept going over it in my mind, and that's what I came up with.
ReplyDeletethat is a good point, the body depends on our minds,and our bodies will not exist if the mind is gone.
