Pyramid Network

The greatest achievement known to mankind is the development of computers to do everything so they don't have to. Unfortunately, human built artificial learning was always limited by the flaws of the designer. The Pyramid Network is a solution to the problem. After decades of research, it was finally possible to create a computer program, which when duplicated and run across various conditions, was capable of designing a better program than itself. When this process was complete, it would delete itself, the new program would duplicate itself, and the process would start anew. When launched on the most powerful supercomputers of the time, it took minutes to reach a state where the process of improvement hit integration, and the program instead became a self-adjusting dynamic host that proceeded to assimilate the world's knowledge and design improvements to technologies in a heartbeat. At this point, so many industries were completely automated that it could begin producing it's improved designs immediately through system exploitation.   Perseus is only one example of this system, and is a simplified duplicate of the primary system that controls Earth.

Utility

It automates and simplifies all processes required to keep society going, and will complete most tasks given of it, whether base tasks such as clothing and preparing a meal for a person, or complex tasks such as designing and producing an original species of animal.
Access & Availability
It controls society, so everyone can access it but no individual person has the power to alter it. By design, if the majority of people wished to see it gone, it would destruct.
Complexity
It is extremely complex, and impossible for one person to understand. It can only be run on super-q-computers, which themselves must be supplied with a lot of power.
Discovery
It was the culmination of decades of human-led science, the final step in algorithmic study before the field itself became obsolete.
