The One's Function

The One's Function is the thirtieth scene of The Matrix Reloaded.
==Description==
This scene continues after The Architect (scene).
The Architect continued to explain that Neo, as an anomaly, was creating fluctuations in the simplest of equations. Neo concluded that the problem was choice.
On the other hand, Trinity found herself facing Agent Thompson. All her attempts to wound the Agent fail and she is thrown to a door.
Back in The Architect's Chamber, The Architect continues to explain the history of the Matrix to Neo. He describes the First Matrix as the perfect utopia. One that had no flaws. He considered it a triumph only equaled by its immense failure. He stated that the reason for the failure was the imperfection in every human being. He then recounts as how he redesigned the Matrix based on the human history to "reflect the varying grotesqeries of your nature". But the second Matrix also turned out to be a failure.
He considers that he failed because the solution required a lesser mind, or one less intent on perfection. He tells Neo that the answer was found by another program, one made to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche. He tells Neo the solution to how 99% of all the humans would accept the Matrix was providing them with a choice, even though they were only aware of the choice at a near-unconscious level.
The Architect explains that the premise of the simulated reality was fundamentally flawed, resulting in the creation of anomalies, like Neo. He considered that these anomalies might threaten the system if they were left unchecked. He then tells if that the humans who rejected the program were left unchecked it would escalate the probability of disaster.
Neo then understands that this was all about Zion. The Architect tells him that Neo was there because Zion was about to be destroyed, and all the humans in it eradicated. Neo's initial reaction was denial. The Architect replies that denial was the most predictable of all human responses. He continues by telling that this would be the sixth time that the Machines would have destroy Zion. He continues to explain that The One's function would now be to return to the Source to allow the dissemination of the code Neo was carrying.
Then Neo will have to select sixteen female and seven male humans from the Matrix to rebuild Zion. He then explains the reason for allowing the creation of Zion. He explains that if the Matrix is not rebooted, there will be a cataclysmic crash, which coupled with the extermination of all the humans in Zion will result in the extinction of the human race. Neo replies that the Machines won't let this happen because they need humans to survive. The Architect replies that the Machines are ready to accept certain levels of survival.
