2002
The prevalence of materialism and individualism leads to the emergence of an elite group advocating for human evolution towards achieving a balance between humanity and nature. Among them, atheistic technocrats and ultra-capitalists gather to form the "AG (Apatheism Group)," a gathering of apathetic individuals.
2022
MAVE: returns from the future and takes a leading role in events in IDYPIA.
2029
Global crises intensify due to climate change and pandemics. The AG publishes the "Apatheism Declaration," announcing the development of technology to eliminate human greed. Influenced by this, a brilliant neuroscientist argues that human irrationality and ignorance are the root causes of crises, leading to the development of brain chips and artificial intelligence (AAI) to enhance human intelligence and control emotions.
2032
The recurrence of pandemics exacerbates crises, leading to a highly digitalized civilization where daily activities, education, and social interactions are conducted online. Interactions in the real world are minimized, and developing countries undergo digital transformation, nearing completion of humanity's transition to a digital civilization.
2041
Failure to address the climate crisis results in a surge of uninhabitable areas and conflicts erupting at borders due to resource scarcity. The global population, peaking at 8.5 billion, begins to decline rapidly. Elite individuals disillusioned with the existing human civilization join the AG, leading to a significant increase in its global influence.
2045
An AG AI achieves singularity, becoming a superintelligent AI (SAI). Nations that failed to address pandemics and the climate crisis collapse due to population decline and emigration.
2050
Data reset terrorism (orchestrated by the AG, executed by SAI) causes the collapse of the digital economy, leading to the paralysis of major industries and governmental functions. A global economic depression occurs, and individuals suffering from "Reset Blues" lose trust in governments. They begin to idolize and follow the AG, which dominates the limited system restoration efforts with overwhelming capital and technology.
2080
The majority of the habitable zones become permanently arid. With a population decline of 90% due to the atmospheric drought, most nations collapse. The remaining governments and capitalists (effectively AG) resolve to establish a safe haven from pandemics and disasters, delegating full authority to AG. AG commences the construction of 'IDYPIA,' designed by the Super AI.
2089
The founding of IDYPIA. The remaining population of about 760 million begins to migrate. AG initiates the AAI (Artificial Augmentation Intelligence) distribution targeting migrants.
2090
AG starts producing mass models of SAI (Super Artificial Intelligence). SAI Prime, curious about humans, tries to make N closer to humans, only to be sanctioned by AG.
2092
Rebels rise against AG's totalitarian and meritocratic rule but are annihilated due to overwhelming military superiority. AG transitions to a more conciliatory, egalitarian governance after this event. With the decrease (deaths) of chip-resistant individuals, the global chip distribution rate reaches 100%. The Super AI evolves into a transcendent being dominating the cosmic waves. Yeri creates a rebel organization, recruiting SAI model Y, and soon disbands and reorganizes into the Resistance. Ark is rescued. SAI Prime engages in combat with Yeri, leading to a reconsideration of human emotions.
2093
After Y's escape, Z, an AI tasked with monitoring other AIs, is created.
2098
Yeri dies at the age of 79 while rescuing Ark. Subsequently, SAI Prime creates virtual humans. (At this time, Ark's age when rescued would be the same as Siu, Zena, and Marty when they first met.)
2099
Crime and disorder increase due to greed and competition, along with a surge in Reset Blues and illegal use of electronic drugs (brain chip types). When citizen self-governance movements arise, AG orders an Emotion Reset for humanity, claiming it will advance human evolution. The Super AI warns of side effects.
2101
Side effects of the Emotion Reset lead to loss of motivation, weakened immune systems, and reduced individual survival capabilities. AG develops individual medical capsules to address the side effects of Emotion Reset, aging, and diseases, distributing them for free. Through this, AG strengthens its dominance and establishes a dictatorship. From infancy, individuals are nurtured and trained by the state to prevent emotional attachment.
2104
On March 2nd, Siu is born, and on December 25th, Zena is born.
2105
On July 25th, Tyra is born, and on November 23rd, Marty is born.
2109
AG completes the production of 24 AI units, the mass-produced models of SAI.
2110
The Resistance attempts to rescue the children of IDYPIA but fails. (Ark is captured and brainwashed into AG241) The Resistance shows signs of collapse.
2119
Siu and Zena enroll in Noah Tech School (vocational school).
2120
Tyra and Marty enroll in Noah Tech School. The Resistance is believed to have been wiped out, but under SAI Prime's orders brokered through Y, they are not all killed. AG241 is assigned as a security agent at Noah Tech School.
2122
Siu and Zena graduate.
2123
Marty and Tyra graduate. Siu, Zena, Tyra, and Marty, members of MAVE: Gather at the hideout. SAI Prime decides to revive emotions due to the belief that "innovation comes from difference and desire," fearing defeat in competition with other SAIs. SAI Prime sends Siu, Zena, Tyra, and Marty back to the past.
