MATRIX (Multistate Anti-TeRrorism Information eXchange) A data mining program and surveillance system that combines information about individuals from government databases and private-sector data companies. It then makes those dossiers available for search by government officials and combs through the millions of files in a search for “anomalies” that may be indicative of terrorist or other criminal activity.
The actual Matrix is step one of the movie Matrix.
