In Matrix and Philosophy the terms source and ontological status. The word source would mean the cause. Ontological is existence or reality in general, as well as of the basic categories of being and their relations. It’s a way of showing what exist and what does not exist. One would be more real than the other one. The source would be the way things came to be. Like how the machines came to be and take over and use humans and make them. The source of being in the unreal is that it was machines that would make people not knowing how. The matrix is controlled by a super computer which makes the unreal world.
The ontological status, the unreal world depends on the real world because the machines control the people’s minds. The machines are what help the unreal world exist. If what the machines the unreal world ‘the matrix’ would not exist. The machines in the real world need to exist if it would to bring down the machines from the real world the humans would be freed from the unreal world that they are in. The source is that the world is the machines are what control the people the unreal world. The unreal world would be useless if the real world did not exist.
