Well readers I promised you a theory and this week and it's here, but sadly for some of you its not an Attack On Titan theory. Some of you have probably heard of the show Psyco-Pass, its pretty much an anime drama about a futuristic Japan that is being runned by a mysterious computer system called the Sibyl that judges everyone's "psyco-pass" and decides if they are a danger to humanity. The main character of the show is Akane Tsunemori, a female inspector who is in charge of capturing criminals and caring out justice. The Theory I am about to talk about is a theory on how the Sibyl System judges a person and if you have not watched Psyco-Pass 2 (season 2) than be warned, THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD!
After finishing the final episode of Psyco-Pass, I instantly made a connection (or I believed I did) between a person's psyco-pass and their moral certainty. As seen during the drug store incident, the train bombing, and the city wide riot there was a large influx of people with a high crime-coefficient, and during these incidents those with a high crime-coefficient also questioned their beliefs and their faith in society. This may be a coincidence but considering the fact that when someone faces a situation that can cause them to question their morals than they will begin to feel unsure of their beliefs, and will likely end up in a state of great confusion if they are pushed to far. When a person is pushed passed their limit they become unsure of everything and are very likely to become panicked and take violent courses of actions, aka it greatly increases the likelihood of someone taking criminal actions.
As explained in the show the dominators read a person's psychological mind and decides whether or not enforcement actions is required based on a person's crime coefficient. A person's crime coefficient is based on how stable a person is mentally and how likely they are to commit a violent crime, but this can't possible be right since there are people who are criminally asymptomatic (don't show signs of crimes) are able to bypass the Sibyl System's form of justice and can never be judged as a criminal. So what is the difference between someone who is criminally asymptomatic and the average person? Shogo Makishima knew that he was committing a crime when he killed Yuki and yet he wasn't judged as a criminal; interestingly enough Makishima was completely okay with killing Yuki and was "unfazed" by his actions, there was no change in his certainty of his morals and beliefs. With this in mind the most likely reason to why Makishima's crime coefficient didn't increase was because he believed that it is okay for him to kill others, and so the Sibyl System calculated that because he believes that what he did is completely acceptable, that he did not do anything wrong. All in all my theory on how Sibyl judges a person is based on the person's certainty that their morals and actions are correct.
I hope you enjoyed my theory and feel free to express your own theory I would love to read them! If you have not watched Psyco-Pass then I recommend that you watch it, it has as fair bit in common with the anime Death Note. And as a endnote I would like to remind you that this is only AVirginTheory!
