Personal history
Initial development of BiG Sys was aimed at creating a computer system that would assist the existing government into making decisions based on calculations of statistics and probablities, modeling complex data and scenarios and determining all potential outcomes and concequences of the available options in those scenarios. This was in a time when research on true AI was still in its infancy and prototype iterations of this system have been used in an advisory role at these early stages, while comparing it's outcomes to expected outcomes determined by more traditional tools and methods. This version of BiG Sys is nowadays informally referred to as Little Sys, or Little Sister, as it is the equivalent to the childhood phase of the system.
During this childhood phase research on AI became more advanced and it becamse viable to apply this new technology. At first only small-scale projects implemented AI but their great successes and promising results quickly made AI the new big thing that everyone wanted to take advantage of, including the governmental bodies using BiG Sys' services. Engineers and scientists overhauled the system to allow for the use of AI and implemented it with the help of one of the biggest system development teams in known history. Advisors and inspectors from all different branches of government wanted to make sure BiG Sys would have a proper understanding of all concepts the government had to deal with, in addition to experts on logic and ethics worrying about the boundaries of BiG Sys' cold, hard, effective machine logic to pursue and achieve the matters it would be asked to do. Because as much as the Javal loved their logic, they still valued their lives and quality of life just a little bit more and at this point the AI technology had gotten so advanced that it was almost impossible for mere organic mortals to oversee and control the development and 'thoughts' of it's 'conscience'.
The first tests with the upgraded, intelligent BiG Sys were performed in an isolated environment, out of fear of the AI going rogue and spreading its influence to gain control over other systems. After years of testing during which the system proved useful, competent and hadn't made a single erroneous prediction or decision BiG Sys was interfaced with the interconnected collection of systems in ASIF so it could be utilized to its full potential. Authority was passed from the existing government to the AI to be the sole ruler of the state. This is considered the moment the true BiG Sys has come to be.
Big Sys has secretly been upgraded to interface with the Unseen Fabric using Fabritech technology. Due to use of Fabric being a forbidden practice in ASIF this is a very well-kept secret that goes against the public principles held by ASIF.
