Am I getting this right?
The BIP was a program made by the machines to monitor redpills who were a part of the 1% of humans that rejected the system, which was agreed upon between the Machines and Oligarchs.
So then, Humans were not enslaved by the machines, only they reached an agreement, allowing the machines to hold cloned humans in the system in order to create an alternate energy source. Meaning that in the end the humans in the Matrix are simply a barganing chip for the Oligarchs end of the deal, and Humans still live freely on the surface.That or Im overthinking it...
I believe it is the latter..

That's not my interpretation, not to say that mine is anymore valid than yours...
The only other time I've seen mention of an agreed rejection rate, is in reference to The Truce: my presumption was that it was this which Gray was alluding to (though it might equally apply to an unknown agreement with The Oligarchs). The Oracle and The Architect hammered out a reasonable settlement following Neo purging the system of Smith. Part of the trade-off for tolerating the existence of Zion was that The Oracle created the BIP for The Architect, in order to keep a degree of control of those whose awakening was now to be tolerated.
Danielle has also made a comment which indicates she may have witnessed some effect of the BIP as part of her experiences as a disembodied entity or in her wireframe state. This would suggest that it continues to provide a link between The Matrix and the Post-Truce Redpills, even after the BIP left Machine control.
Now... Who had the BIP before it started to run wild? Could the Oligarchs have demanded the BIP from The Machines and exercised a degree of control over Redpills since soon after The Truce?
Danielle has also stated that she has extented her ability to remain alive without a body, by creating a wireframe for herself. I doubt The Oligarchs have such technology available on ShareWare, so Ms. Wright would have had to take drastic measures to acquire her wireframe: a hack of Ouroboros perhaps? She could have then inadvertently released the BIP, during this incursion... Or even on purpose?
This would be the obvious time at which she could have observed the effect which the BIP could exert, and confirm that Gray's account is consistent with that which she observed.
To me this simply reaffirms what Neo told Morpheus:
"It was a lie, Morpheus. The prophecy was a lie. The One was never meant to end anything. It was all another system of control."
The One was never a true "anomaly". It was merely a program designed to do just what it did--keep Zion under control. It was not until the Oracle tinkered with her own toy that it exceeded its design. Though it could be said that the biological interface program did funtion perfectly, given how deviously the fortune teller played.
In regards to Wright:
"Most interesting..."
IE If they wanted, they could have a 0 percent rejection rate.
Is this speculation or did you get this information from somewhere I missed?
From what I remember of Reloaded, the Architect said that the illusion of Choice was able to keep 99% of all humans under control but it still doesn't work for 1% of the population. I don't think he meant they made it work for 99% and not for the other 1%, but that could be the case with the way the story is going.
I just want to know if this is previous knowledge or is this something you're predicting?

Have they said how long ago the BIP was created?
