Okay, so if the original " Matrix" premise of humans as battery seems inefficient and unlikely, then how would the simulation work?

好的，所以如果原本的以人类作为电池的矩阵前提看上去效率低下且不太可能，那么模拟的原理是怎样的？

If you multiply two matrices together, the determinant of the resulting matrix is the same as the product of the determinance of the original two matrices.

如果你把两个矩阵相乘 结果矩阵的行列式就等于原来两个矩阵行列式的乘积。

Based on how things are written down here, I think it's reasonable to call this new matrix the product of the original two matrices, don't you?

根据这里写的东西 我认为把这个新矩阵叫做原来两个矩阵的乘积是合理的 不是吗？
