Free will vs. Fate (The Matrix)

In my opinion, the Matrix is a representation of fate because of the Oracle's predictions. Fate can be defined as the development of a person's control determined by a supernatural power. Regardless of the person's decisions throughout their life. Free will is the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion. 
Regardless of the characters decisions, I believe the outcome would have remained the same. The Oracle said that Trinity would fall in love with the one. Even without knowing Neo was the one, Trinity began to fall in love with him when she brought him food his first night. Also, the Oracle told Morpheus he will find the one, Regardless of his decisions, Morpheus was destined to find the one, and he did.
