When Neo is able to stop the sentinels and destroy them, I think he's in new territory. Remember, the Architect says that the six "Ones" before him all just the right door and re-created Zion. However, Neo is the first to go back through the left door. I think Neo is taking his abilities out of the Matrix and into the real world, which is not what the Architect had in mind. Kind of like a Terminator theory where the machines grow smart, progress, etc...well the Matrix can do the same.
Interesting, I think another posibility, is that they are still in the matrix. Like the architect said, they are on version 6... always refining. So maybe the whole "Matrix" is just another program to simulate what would happen if there was a scenario like that. Like a training exersize for the machines.
Maybe what we know as The Matrix and The Real World are actually both part of a larger Matrix.
