I re watched the matrix trilogy last week for the first time in 12 years. I'm in IT now and it's the first time the plot of the matrix made sense to me. Obviously there are layers of symbolism, but no one ever talks about the literal interpretation of the plot.
The One is a special human that contains the password to reset the matrix. This also grants him access to dev permissions in the matrix, which is why he has special powers. He also must have an organic version of wifi, which is why he can run self destruct commands on machines in the real world. To obligate the One to do a reset, the machines obliterate the human settlement. The One must then travel to the source code repository where the recovery console is accessed. Smith was defeated because neo was attached to the source code repository and once Smith cloned neo, the source did a delete all on Smith and then rebooted the matrix.
