23 Our connection. I dont fully understand how it happened. Perhaps some

part of you imprinted onto me, something overwritten or copied. That is at
this point irrelevant, what matters is that whatever happened, happened for a
reason. I killed you, Mister Anderson, I watched you die. With a certain
satisfaction, I might add, and then something happened. Something that I
knew was impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mister
Anderson. Afterward, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed
to do but I didnt. I couldnt. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey.
And now here I stand because of you, Mister Anderson, because of you Im
no longer an agent of the system, because of you Ive changed Im unplug
ged a new man, so to speak, like you, apparently free.

25 But as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back
to the reason why were here. Were not here because were free, were here
because were not free. Theres no escaping reason, no denying purpose be
cause as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist. It is purpose
that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us. That guides
us. That drives us. It is purpose that defines. Purpose that binds us. Were here
because of you, Mister Anderson, were here to take from you what you tried
to take from us. Purpose.

29 Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the
programming of the Matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which,
despite my sincerest efforts, I have been unable to eliminate from what is
otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden
assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of
control. Which has led you, inexorably... here.

TOWARDS A BIOGRAPHY OF AGENT SMITH

Abstract
The article analyzes transformations of the character of Agent Smith in
The Matrix trilogy against the background of Hegels ideas in his The
Philosophy of History. The chain of events in the trilogy is understood
as a progress of the consciousness of freedom and mutual recognition
of humans and artificial intelligence. Agent Smith is a key figure in that
process because thanks to him a) Neo becomes the One, b) humans
realize that the right to live and to freedom do not imply destruction of
the Matrix and the machines and c) artificial intelligence realizes that in
order to achieve the balance of Matrix they have to recognize to humans
the right of awakening from the Matrix into existence. Besides that, the
article analyzes the role of the plexus Architect-Oracle as a creator of
the plan that Neo and Smith carry out, bringing the virtual world into
balance; also, a basis is shown for possible theodicy of the actions of
that plexus.
Key words: Matrix, Neo, philosophy of history, Wachowskis, Hegel,
theodicy
