Do you think the unity of the Matrix is Inherent to the Computer system itself? Or is it inherent in Neo's State of Knowing?
I.E. Is the Order Inherent in the Computer/Matrix or is it inside Neo? Is neo merely a really good computer programmer or is he a theorist/philosopher? Is Neo's Understanding of the Matrix an Insight into the Nature of the Reality of the Matrix itself (an epiphany)?
Are human creations (computers) predictatable by greater theories or is one human's (or all humans, or their derivative machines) •••••••••• irreducible to grand theories?
Can Neo Seperate the knowledge he has about the matrix from himself, or is it innefible and connected to his disposition/being?
Is the fact that he is a hero connected to his knowing the matrix?
what if he was evil - could he know it?
why/why not

It's an unconscious awareness.
Neo (in the story) cannot "know" it. He can only "feel" it. He can be one with it but he cannot see it as an entity separated from himself because he is in fact part of it and one with it. It is within him and outside of him.
The order is both in Neo and in the Matrix. It is in the machines and in the humans. It is in the environment that they both dwell in.
They are all interwoven together.
Trying to separate them is like trying to stare at one strand of the spider's web and saying that it alone is the web.
It is the same with both the worldly infrastructure and the universal one.
You cannot comprehend it in its entire form because that would require that you be outside of it and you cannot be outside of the infrastructure because then you are divided from the structure itself.
