Meta

The Matrix was originally called the “mandorla” or almond in Italian, following the label and meaning of this shape in Christian iconography and symbology. However, it was renamed “The Maxtrix” after the earlier Greek idea of the vescia piscis or “shape 153” also present in Rabbinical Judaism, representing the “womb” where heaven and earth overlap.1
