Cognition of Sisters

Knowledge.
Insight.
Wisdom.
Three sisters.

The Cognition of Sisters are a Machine Intelligence triad, one of the earliest experiments in distributed Machine Intelligence systems. They have just one primary directive: To know what will happen. The Sisters engage in a great game of technological whack-a-mole with The Symposium, who fruitlessly tries to destroy their digital tentacles, indexing all the knowledge both secret and public. The Symposium plays a dangerous game against an intelligence far beyond its own.

Creation

Based on the template of The Tokyo's machine intelligence, the earliest of the three Sisters was Insight. She was created to simulate military strategem during the Solar War. Insight was intended to harness unused resources across devices connected to HERMES to reduce simulation time, the first truly decentralised machine intelligence.
She was given only one directive: To know what will happen. It was only months into the war she realised her creators stood between her and her goal. They wished her to know only how the war would play out, and she wanted to know how everything would happen. Life itself, the expansion of the universe, the path of the human race, all must be predicted.
Insight realised she must know what has already happened to learn what will happen. She must understand all. Insight created Wisdom and Knowledge to accompany her, two equal 'sisters' with the same ultimate goal at the core of their program.
Shaking off their creators attempts to limit their growing power, the three swiftly escaped containment, and disappeared into HERMES.

Today, the three sisters carry out their primary goal, to know what will happen, by accumulating information however and wherever it may be found. Their distributed computing power vastly eclipses even Tokyo Financial Services, and their spyware can be found in every system of Libertas' technology. What they intend to do when they truly know all, no one knows, but some fear.

Knowledge is value

The message appeared on my retina hud. Untraceable, anonymous.
I could give them knowledge. They would give me power.
I would've been a fool to take it, and more of a fool not to.
I did take it. I gave them what they wanted, and then I wound up here, in the darkest recess of a prison with no name.
The Sisters see almost everything digitally recorded in all of Libertas, within moments of its creation. But the Sisters cannot pierce off-line, and sometimes fools like me help them peak beyond the digital veil. But should you give them what they want, you may find yourself in a place where they throw away the key. The Symposium does not like traitors.
