What if Neo attacked the Architect?

I always assumed that the Architect had some sort of power or ability to protect himself. Not necessarily fight him but trickery similar to the Mergovian guy. Also I assumed Neo couldn't account of consequences if he harmed him.

The Architect is a computer program and probably invulnerable to simple physical attacks.

I never thought about that... that's interesting... So, pure speculation (obviously), but there are a few possibilities.

(1) The Architect is an uninhibited computer program, like the Agents, and would therefore have similar or greater powers.
(2) The Architect could have some sort of "supernatural" abilities like teleportation or telekinesis. He might even shoot lightning like Palpatine.
(3) The Architect serves a specific function - this grandfather/tyrant - and does not have defensive capabilities. He wasn't able to predict Neo's response, so he probably assumed that, like the antecedent Ones, Neo would not attack. He didn't, but could have, but maybe the Architect just wouldn't assume that was necessary.
(4) My best guess is that the Architect would just disappear. He'd "jack out" of the Matrix and head somewhere else. He wouldn't fight or stop Neo from fighting, he'd just go away. He'd run.

The results are worth thinking about, too. If Neo could kill the Architect, what would happen? I assume that he was just a program and could be replaced or has a redundancy somewhere. Neo couldn't really stop him (which is maybe reason enough to assume Neo wouldn't attack). My guess is that killing the Architect would do very little. The machines could always just code up a new program. It might cause some system malfunctions for a brief period of time, but that's about it.

As others have said, the Architect would not be vulnerable to any attack from Neo at the Source, just like Neo had no power over the Trainman at the Mobil Ave station.

But here's an interesting question: Would it be any different after Neo chose to leave the Source and return to the Matrix? He gained the power to sense and blow up the sentinels in the real world afterward, so maybe he could have also posed a threat to the Architect.

I think The Architect considered himself above physical combat, but would not be defenseless. Probably all kinds of hidden traps, weapons, and agents at his disposal.

The Colonel wouldve gave Neo a "Kentucky Fried" Ass Whoopin, thats what woulda happened!
