The Matrix explained in the movie series by Warchowski his thinking in nine different parts that narrow down the philosophical viewpoint of The Matrix. Chalmers explain Metaphysical Hypothesis that it postulates a world similar to the real world but the computers are god and the human mind as well as its external surroundings is created from bits. However via his hypothesis he redefines the concept arguing that the human body exists. In addition he suggests that the human body presents in single reality but the mind presents on another space which feels equal. Finally humans are created from computers that are outside the world due to evolution and some deity. At first the analogy builds impression counter-intuitive but his argument proves rational and progresses systematically to elaborate how The Matrix event is not close to Doubtful Hypothesis.
