Seeking true Matrix

Once upon a time... Matricks!

Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What about the red pill? Are we sure we want to know anything about the rabbit-hole? We are usually working on models, making our own representations of reality. It is part of our job, to make our own matrix, in order to interact with it, looking for the truth, either the truth in the past or the expected one in the future. Bottom line, we´re in charge of making things work, first in fiction and then in reality.

Morpheus: What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this [holds up a Duracell battery].

Neo: No, I don't believe it. It's not possible.

Morpheus: I didn't say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.

But, how can we do to make those things work? Mainly, we need a good vision of reality, given by people who interact in that reality. Once we know what has to be represented, the first step is already being taken.

Morpheus: I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.

As a comparison between what we do and the concept behind the film (and because we are big fans of it), we decided to make a simple model that represents the way we act, just for doing it. This is how Matricks was born, with basic controls and a hidden truth behind the numbers, that we hope you enjoy discovering!

Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

Press on the red pill to run the model

Note: the name "matricks" arises from the conjunction of "Matrix" and "tricks", due to the trick hidden in the model
