Humatons<br />
Plugged-in humans, individuals with a limited or non-existent capacity for self-determination;<br />
human automatons, mechanical animals. A humaton has no concern save for the self, and<br />
for the comforts and conveniences of the self, as provided by the matrix.<br />
Lucid<br />
A Lucid is a being who has attained total freedom and learned to read the code and so shape<br />
reality according to his desire. Since a Lucid is one who has erased the self, however, he or<br />
she has no desire distinct from the universal desire, that of energy to flow to the source. A<br />
Lucid is one who has become an imaginary being, and so become a god. Since s/he exists<br />
within a dream and is aware of dreaming the dream, s/he can shape the dream as s/he sees<br />
fit. Neo is the first Lucid (since the last one, that is).<br />
Matrix<br />
A 'neural active simulation', the matrix is the world that has been pulled over mankind's eyes<br />
to blind it to the truth. Assembled by AI through a harnessing of humanity's unconscious, its<br />
sleeping mind, the matrix works by constantly rearranging and reshuffling all our hopes,<br />
dreams, memories, and so forth, into a fully interactive dream world in which nothing ever<br />
changes, but only appears to do so.<br />
Matrix sorcerer<br />
One who has unplugged but not yet attained the lucid state, nor is yet able to see the code.<br />
Sorcery is a new interpretation and pertains to the 2nd attention, the world of the imagination.<br />
A matrix sorcerer is one who can exist in two worlds at the same time, who has a limited<br />
amount of freedom and power within the matrix, but is not yet able to reshape it at will.<br />
Matrix warrior<br />
A humaton who, though still plugged in to the matrix, has begun to realize the nature of his or<br />
her predicament and act accordingly. A matrix warrior lives strategically, in terms of<br />
conserving energy through his or her acts, and focusing exclusively on a single goal: getting<br />
free of the matrix. Once the matrix warrior makes contact with the real world, takes the red<br />
pill, and manages to unplug, he or she becomes a matrix sorcerer.<br />
Petty Tyrant<br />
A cruel or capricious person in a position of power. His function in the life of the matrix warrior<br />
is to drive the warrior to distraction, to hound him or her relentlessly with a seemingly endless<br />
series of petty and mundane obstacles, demands, and assaults. In spite of himself, however,<br />
the petty tyrant is actually the matrix warrior's best friend, since it is only thanks to the<br />
endless annoyance of the petty tyrant that the matrix warriors are goaded to change, to<br />
develop their ruthlessness and cunning — their will — in order to escape the intolerable<br />
situation in which the petty tyrant has placed them. This is the actual function of AI, on a<br />
cosmic scale: to force humanity to evolve.<br />
Reason<br />
The means by which AI enslaves mankind is through its reason, its intellect. The matrix is<br />
upheld by reason, or rational thought. Reason was originally meant as a tool for experiencing<br />
the 1st attention, i.e., existence as a separate being; but through the intervention of AI, and<br />
with the help of mankind's own stupidity, it became instead an inescapable snare. Reason is<br />
but one of many islands in a vast ocean of being; mankind is presently trapped on this island.<br />
The world of humatons is upheld by reason, the world of sorcerers by will. Ordinary humans<br />
have a single ring of power that spins the world into being, which we call reason. Sorcerers<br />
tap into a second ring of power, that of will.<br />
