Chaos Monkey Matrix

Drawing on the theme of 'Johnstone's Paradox' in the books of Ramsey Dukes (especially 'Words Made Flesh'), the book 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson and the more recent 'Matrix' film (the two sequels weren't out when I drew this), this explores the idea of reality as an information matrix, not necessarilly inside a computer as we know them, but none-the-less information.

Several question then arise:

1) Can we hack the code? (The aim of the magician? Reality hackers?)

2) Do we exist outside the matrix as in the Matrix films, or are we pure AI?

3) Does it really make any difference to how we live our lives?
