The Matrix and Fate

I was also wondering, if the Matrix is a computer program is there room for chance? Is everything that happens in the Matrix fated to occur in just a certain way, and is that why there is an oracle who can make true predictions?

  1. remember when neo was getting programed in for karate... it seemed that they took it out of a dusty old box in which everyone had gotten the same computer program. Morpheus was programed like the same way, i am sure they could cange the computer programs but i think it would be way to hard to add when there are other problems they might have.

  2. Problems are inevetible even in the matrix. Things are bound to go wrong, even if everyone is programmed the same way.
