the movie is just a spinoff from Descartes' Meditations. The Matrix is the Evil Genius of Descartes, not Schoepenhauer's Cosmos. They even said in the movie that the Matrix needed free will to work. That's why previous versions failed. The so-called Cosmos is void of any freedom to choose. The two do not equate.-NapTime
