XERXES Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 How is Agent Smith duplicated? (note, I took this from another forum but still...its interesting) I fully understand that it's a movie, but I wonder about the methodology used. 1) He's a file. 2) He's an object. Code: Agent AgentSmith = new Agent(); Code: Dim AgentSmith as Agent = New Agent well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCanr2d2 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I am not a complete Matrix nut, nor know computer programming deeply enough to give a definitive answer BUT IMO I think that Agent Smith works more like a virus, rather than as a normal program inside the Matrix to replicate himself. Most virii work on the premise that they keep running, but replicate themselves in just about every other file they come into contact with. So I'd base this on how Agent Smith replicates himself... Great Political statement there Whitedragon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Originally posted by XERXES Dim AgentSmith as Agent = New Agent Bah, Visual Basic Style coding.......I spit on visual basic. I think it'll probably be explained in the next movie how Agent Smith replicates himself. Since it's going to show him doing it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Political statement there Whitedragon!!! viruses (at least biological ones) replicate by using and destroying cells, a virus lives to destroy its host wether that be a living organism or a "matrix" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XERXES Posted April 25, 2003 Author Share Posted April 25, 2003 Originally posted by BCanr2d2 Remember that the Matrix is not biological, it is computer generated...... still though, a virus is usually out there to destroy that system. Neo should be considered a virus. But if Agent Smith is just a program...or a file, could'nt Neo just simply "delete" him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Can you easily delete core components of your OS? No, remember in the movie that they need passwords to the mainframe to even be able to access the Matrix. Encryption, Security, and the usual setup in any server system would protect unauthorised access to delete files....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
