Jan 29, 2015 at 21:39 comment added Mark Rogers Cypher could be reading code during his initial negotiations with the AIs and then later schedules an actual "in-person" meeting, once the details are hammered out.

Mar 1, 2012 at 10:14 comment added Konrad Rudolph This is how I always understood it as well. Of course this clashes with the steak scene but I’ve always taken this as a bit of artistic liberty. Or Cypher was being figurative … after all, he was currently negotiating an endless supply of succulent steaks, his imagination might have been running wild.
Mar 1, 2012 at 4:02 comment added HNL I have to agree. During that conversation, he actually says something like "I know this is not a real stake and that the Matrix is signalling my brain...". He wouldn't say that if he was reading code.
Feb 29, 2012 at 22:52 comment added iandotkelly Interesting idea - but I don't entirely buy it either. The "blond, brunette" comment appears to be a bit of a joke. He's just said that the matrix has far too much data to be fed through the imaging system so they have to view it in code. But being able to perhaps send messages back and forth in code is one thing - visualizing being in a restaurant and eating a juicy steak is another. I'm sure he was able to perhaps communicate with Agent Smith via the terminals when disturbed by Neo, but I doubt that viewing the code gives him that immersive experience.
