The World (In a nutshell)

-While there are still normal programs roaming the system and their users having no idea just what they actually are besideds lines of code written into a machine, one man stumbled upon an odd set of code that when put together in a program seemed to make the program change and evolve as it encounter more obstacles or was given new directives. This program was the first Navi (short for Navigator).

-This discovery caused a frenzy amidst the technology world and soon it was common practice for an employee of certain companies to have a Navi program to help them with their job. This of course led to the Navi's being very nondescript or given the exact same face as the employee that created them. For simplicity sake as well as many employers seeing no need to allow more customization in the looks of these Navis when they communicated with their Operator or other employees.

-Like computers, soon the public craved such when the various uses one could use a Navi for became apparent and as the technology evolved so to did the fate of being company only owned property to being personal programs able to help and make lives easier in various ways for the general public.


-When home computers finally entered the era of being easier to handle and the first laptops were coming out so too did the first PET (Personal Terminal) enter the prototype phase. ENCOM leading this charge as another commodity to sell.

-As the technology became streamlined and more user friendly, and the little underground Navi programmers began to be found and given legit jobs working to customize and create specific Navis to the specs and ideals of a customer it soon became common place to have Navis as varied and one of a kind as companies began to peddle to such a demand. Personalized PET carriers, accessories both physical and digital.

-Of course as things progress the programs stop being just programs that respond in certain ways to certain things, but begin to evolve into actual AIs. This evolution from simple program to actual Artificial Intelligences with free forming emotions is hardly noticed at first as they are still "For the User" and thus don't exactly do much to let most cotton on to this change.

-I say most as of course this would be pretty boring if there wasn't someway to bring in the Digital Frontier craze of Kevin Flynn.

-A Flynn who realizes this changing dynamic as he ends up taking a little adventure into ENCOM's system via a digitization laser and meets what he assumed was a basic and normal security Navi known as Tron. This meet up and the fact that he was in a flippin computer is what spurs him into looking deeper into programs and biodigital jazz and all that.

-Things progress as they would normally until Flynn decides to take Tron out of the system and into his little experimental grounds. This is where things change because despite being an ENCOM program he is still Alan Bradley's Navi in loyalty and it dos not take long for Alan to realize that Tron hasn't checked in for a while. Secrets come out and the entire disaster that is Legacy does not gain the momentum it needs to become that awful trainwreck.

-Of course it isn't all sunshine and rainbows considering Bradley-Baines and Kleinberg now have to help figure out what to do with this knowledge that their Navis they created while working at ENCOM are not exactly just lines of code, but evolving in their own ways. This is before they then attempt to tackle what Flynn did that somehow created an entire race of digital beings that popped out of a digital sea.

-The discover of true AIs can't be kept secret for long but with enough good PR and scrambling ENCOM manages to lead the path that keeps most of the doomsayers from gaining too much ground over this and the ISO's are quietly let out of hiding to explore the digital world that is beyond the Grid.
