matrix 

a term describing a controlled environment or situation in which people act or behave in ways that conform to roles pre-determined by a powerful person(s) who decides how the world is supposed to function.

Living on or within a matrix may also be referred to as "on the grid", with greater flexibility and choice available to those who venture off-the-grid.

After years of living a boring life, working 9-to-5 on the East Coast matrix, he relocated to Portland, Oregon, where he traded his car for a bicycle and started earning a living with his acoustic guitar.

Matrix 

(in sci-fi & the hypothetical Kardashev scale science theory)...

A simulated dimension powered by advanced technology, such as a super-computer. (Also known as a 'metaverse').

e.g: 'Many alien god theorists say that the gods were physical humanoid extraterrestrials who were so technologically advanced that they scientifically created their own matrix and moved into it where they became conscious divine holograms, but most mortals confused their matrix as a magical realm, because they didn't understand how its state of being was scientifically possible.'

(Notes: A matrix could be inside a device / computer (ie. a contained matrix) or a merged dimension outside of one (ie. an uncontained matrix). An uncontained matrix would be powered by all the stars, through advanced technology.

Please read my definition of a merged dimension and research The Kardashev Scale Theory for more information).

matrix 

1. To spend a significant portion of a day or even a week watching without pause back to back episodes from multiple seasons of a single television series, replacing the experience of one's own reality and resulting in lingering effects on one's consciousness, once the final episode has been watched. 2. To re-set one's own immediate depressive state by immersing oneself in a mediated one (television, film, online social forum, amusement park, etc.) for an extended, but ultimately temporary, period of time.

Jan was in such a funk that she withdrew into her dorm room with a Costco carton of microwaveable popcorn to matrix on the complete seven seasons of Wire in the Blood, emerging three days later with a slight British accent and a less slight case of paranoia.
