Officially, FI is a supreme artificial construct whose purpose is guiding vessels, and making calculated predictions of movement within the infinite vectors of liquid aether.
History
Figment Intelligence is a more recent development of the Seekers of the Ascendancy, having arisen out of the need to safely traverse the Continuum, which is only accessible upon surpassing the Aether Resistance Threshold. Beside this, FI has shown promise on Archlight station aiding ASPs in their duty maintaining order, and quelling Dissidents. For obvious reasons, the creative process of FI is unknown to all but the Seekers of the Ascendancy*.
*The Oculus has reported rumors among Debtors purporting that Figment Intelligence is an abominable amalgamation of a captured man’s soul and a machine. It is known that the Sodality of Theorists is a propagator of such lies. The Ascendancy need not remind a faithful Debtor that rumors standing against the benevolence of the OEA are necessarily punishable by extreme measures. Have a nice day, and be ever faithful.
