What is/are the matrix/matrices

My best effort for a bit of enlightenment on this subject is by an analogy on database programing.


Take any database, say the BlockBuster system;

You rent a film with a number, that number is meaning less, until you have the database "key(s)"

These keys vary and are relational by databasing structure.

The blockbuster person asks you for one of these relational keys, your phone number or you blockbuster id card.
When that key is formed, all the relational data is retrieved.

Not only did that key, link the number of the video your renting to your account, it pulls all the relational data to that/those "key/keys" are bound to.

Now they ask you

Are you still at this address, this still your phone number?

And continue to tell you;
You have rented 22 moves in the last 90 days, 20 of which you were late returning. Your account has now a cost by means of relational data we find out. You have spent $45.00 just on forgetting to return your videos on time. :eek:

How the heck did they know all of that data by me saying my phone number?

It is a matrix/matrices.
