How is Neo able to see after going blind in Revolutions
This question relates to the movie Matrix Revolutions (2003)
In this third installment, we see Neo, in the real world, fighting Bane. Bane's mind has been replaced by Agent Smith. Bane, in his head, is Agent Smith.
Bane blinds Neo, and so Neo's eyes in the real world are useless. Neo, after losing his eyesight, begins to see the world in a golden glow. He sees Agent Smith instead of Bane.
Let's park the idea of "matrix within the matrix" because that invalidates the whole trilogy. That invalidates any knowledge of what the current world looks like. That also gives rise to infinite possibilities and explanations as to what is actually happening in the real, real world.
Assuming that the real world is indeed the real world, how does Neo begin to see with the golden glow? I'm looking for a scientific explanation, not a spiritual one.
Best Answer
It's reasonable to assume (based on the time that Neo spent in Mobil Ave and the fact that he was able to influence the squiddies outside of the Matrix) that the machine ports in Neo's neck and body have some sort of wireless capability. It's also pretty reasonable to assume that the various machine elements that we see also have a similar wireless capability, allowing individual machine parts to communicate with each other. Neo is tapping into that and converting it into a sort of blind-sight.
It's very telling that when Neo fights Smith on the Logos and later when he arrives at the Machine City, he can only see powered machine elements, not Trinity's body, nor the damaged spikes that have cut through through her. He can't see anything unpowered since it's not emitting any kinds of signals. This holds true for the structure of the Logos, the ground alongside the power cables and the sky.
