The Matrix

A program that's loaded into the subconcious mind. The brain and central nervous system are interfaced with the Matrix. Electrical signals from the Matrix travel to the brain and central nervous system from which the brain translates as touch, taste, smell, sight and sound. Because the central nervous system interfaces with the Matrix, affected persons will feel pain.

If a fatal wound or injury is incurred while inside the Matrix, death results.
