Literal vs Implicit / Choice vs Free Will

I agree. The architect did not specifically mention free will, but stated that the Matrix depends upon choice, conscious or unconscious, to accept or reject the construct. This choice appears to be real and necessary for system meta-stability. Clearly, the architect has come to accept an oscillating system of growth and destruction in the "real" word in order to maintain stability in the Matrix.

There is a persisting mystery regarding Zion and its relationship with free will...

I can only guess that Zion is necessary as the only way an individual can opt out of the Matrix and survive in the real world. An interesting twist is if Zion itself is "real" or just another "level" of the construct. Does the existence of free will depend on a true "out" or is it just a choice between two options of simulated life. How is it that the enslaved humans can instinctively distinguish these possibilities? If Zion is "simulated", then why does it need to exist at all, as choices can be made within the Matrix?

If Zion is "real", how is it that Neo is able to stop the "Squiddies"? He notes, just before this event, that he can now "feel" them, and apparently has the sudden insight that his powers may be functional outside of the Matrix (if he's really outside the Matrix).

It will be interesting to see how this question is resolved.
