The Matrix

[Kasreyn]

Perhaps there are only a few points in the code of the Matrix at which new "objects" can be inserted. Humans (or, rather, simulated objects of them which are used as the representations of the people in the matrix) are of course only "inserted" into the Matrix at certain points. But perhaps the renegades can only insert their simulated personas at certain points in the code, which are represented somehow, perhaps for the Machines' convenience, as telephones.

Of course, there's a problem: Agents don't use the phones, they "possess" a person (more accurately, they take over control of the simulated being, alter its appearance to suit their own, and terminate the person who the simulation belonged to).

Which brings up an even more interesting point, IMO: WHY do the Agents look like Agents? I mean, they look nice and Official for dealing with their minions (ie., cops, etc.), and that has its uses (humans are for some reasons very easily impressed by external appearances =P). But when Neo was running from the Agents, and they "possessed" people he ran past, WHY did they take an Agent form? They'd do so much better in disguise.

Or better yet, the Matrix surely has recent data available on Trinity's old "residual self-image" from her time in the tanks. Why can't they just take her image, get him to drop his guard, then kill him easily?
