/facepalmWho left to door to the hospital for "special" people open? Crazies all over the place.Anyway, we should start with what we KNOW about the intruder. Facts are usually far more productive than speculation.Arrived into the matrix at Rogers Way, at a door that is known to connect to the source, as well as other locations.Has a rather rudimentary RSIHas the ability to deploy code objects called "Decelerator"s that affect programs. Affected programs seem to have an elevated clock rate and become passively hostile, or at least they seem to cease any previous activities. A Decelerator has no "physical" presence in the Matrix and as such in only vulnerable to code attacks.Any code he leaves behind is not normal Matrix code and certainly seems to panic programs as to where it might originate from. It seems clear that his code is not from in the Matrix.He seems somewhat impervious to attack, if not just immensely powerful.He appears to be seeking something, and has displayed particular interest in the Heart O' the City hotel in Stamos. Room 303 was the location of Neo's realization that he was The One. It was ALSO the location of Smith's initial distruction and his conversion to a viral form.He has displayed a complete lack of interest in Machine and exile programs.He has stated that he has no more soul than any exile or machine program.The Oracle stated that if you kill something you might not like what comes to replace it.Possible conclusions from the above:External to the simulation with an inherent ability to override system programs. This seems to suggest that he is possibly some form of operating systems code from the Source. So far all programs encountered have been ported in from the machine world or built within the Matrix systems.The ability to alter clock speeds also suggests something from the systems on which the Matrix runs.So far I am of the opinion that he is some sort of admin or antiviral research program. His demeanour certainly seems to be one that suits a higher level program. It seems to be one of a network administrator. "I don't care what data you have running on my systems, I am only interested in the performance of the network itself". Much like a phone technician doesn't care what you talk about, only that the phones are working. He could be trying to find out how The One was able to manipulate systems externally or how Smith was altered.I'm most likely not correct, It could be a very high level emergency protocol (like an anti-virus), something that operates outside of the system. In which case humans would be of most use to him, because they are able to provide the intruder with information external to the system.Perhaps the intruder might benefit from someone informing him of the location of Neo's partial RSI.Whatever the truth, it is clear that the machines have no control over it and have even pulled back sentinel troops to defend their resources.An afterthought: Pigeons don't know about Copernicus because they don't need to. Just because you believe the world is flat, doesn't mean the world is even aware of your existence.
That old woman is really starting to annoy me. She never says anything directly useful and only seems to be getting more vague with time. SkyBruin is on the right track though.
