"Source" & "Ontological status"

- The online dictionary by Farlex defines "Source" as the point of a system where energy or mass is added to the system, in my own words i can define it as "the Point of origin", according to the Matrix and Philosophy, page 61 (pp2) can support my explanation as it argues " the ultimate causes are for the things which we can categorize under " Real", they do not have to do with the causes responsible for creating the unreal world of the Matrix".
According to physics, "Ontological status" is defined as the argument of the existence of God holding that the existence of the concept of God entails the existance of God, in my own words interpret it as the essence and nature of being, to support this information, we can read on page 61 (pp4) " One way of determinig ontological status is in terms of dependence" as it argues that The real world in the Matrix, does not depend on something else for its existence, it stands by itself, as it were.
In conclusion, according to Gracia and Sanford "source" and "ontological status" are terms used to distinguising between the real and unreal worlds, as they argue on page 62 (pp2) the source for each and their ontological status clarify the distinction between the two fundamental categories of the Matrix.
