"Your 5 predecessors were, by design, based on a similar predication - a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the One."----The Matrix Reloaded Allen, it is important that you understand first of all, that intellectual nonsense, when composed, is meant to impress. However, the articulation of vague terms and obscure phrases does not lead to the conclusion that there is "meaning". It other words, the author of this sentences intends for you to think that something vital, something important, some powerful idea is being communicated. In fact, there is no such "meaning" in this verbiage. It will be a fruitless search for you to pursue it. The word "contingent" simply means "dependent upon". An "affirmation" is just something that is "said" or "written". The sentences, "I am happy!" is an affirmation. The difficulty arises when an author refers to an Abstract Conception as something which exists as a reality. Think about this.

At the same time, they inconsistently refer to that which is Physical as the only reality, and deny anything Metaphysical reality.

Modern people who use English as natives, refer to such writing and speaking as "Psycho-Babble". Uses of language like this are "meaningless" rather than "meaningful". .
