MetaCortex

MetaCortex (sometimes called Meta Cortechs) was a prominent software company in the Matrix that Neo worked for. It was referred to as being a "respectable software company" by Agent Smith. On what might have been his last day of work there, Neo, as Thomas Anderson, was being reprimanded by his boss, Mr. Rhineheart regarding his punctuality."They're Coming For You", The Matrix
==Etymology==
The root of this word is meta-, which according to Webster's means "going beyond or higher, transcending", and -cortex, which is "the outer layer (boundary) of gray matter surrounding the brain". Thus, Metacortechs is "transcending the boundaries of the brain", which is precisely what Neo proceeds to do.

* The company "MetaCortechs" actually does exist, leading to speculation that the signs were changed to avoid legal issues. This explains away the spelling variation as a mistake that was supposed to be changed but was missed.The Matrix/Mistakes

*The Matrix Reloaded (Monitor only)
