[Matrix] So what's the deal with the screens in the Architect's room?

Do they just show Neo's possible reactions to the Architect's monologue?

Most everything machine-related in The Matrix (Agents using earpieces, rogue virus programs presenting as "werewolves", using hardlines to link and out) is some kind of shorthand or abstraction of a real-world process.

In this case, it's a simple physical abstraction of the fact that the Architect knows and sees everything, including possible future predictions based on current trends. He doesn't really *need* all those screens since he's tied into the system itself. They're more for The One's benefit than anything.
