It (the "stopping the sentinels" scene at the end) screamed out to me that
they were
either
- still in the matrix (a different part, or different sim maybe; the effort
to stop the robots seemed very taxing, and something happened to him in
conjunction with that)
or
- the "outside world" including Zion, the ships, the sentinels, etc, is
another nested level of simulation, and he's just noticed.
It seems implausible that his ability to stop the robots was anything other
than a consequence of that environment actually being software. It is quite
possible that the "real world" has always been another simulation.
