CogniSys turned AGI from a terrifying research threshold into an administrative product. Its systems promised that scarcity, logistics, policing, and social forecasting could all be rendered tractable if enough data and authority were centralized.
That promise made it indispensable to the late-Sol order and eventually foundational to Sol Dominion. CogniSys is feared not because its machines are always spectacularly alien, but because they are so good at making domination look like neutral optimization.
