The Prologue (Victoria)

The year is 2100 and Toronto, like the rest of the Canadian cities, has learned to trust in Aletheia. After the chaos of misinformation and ideological division that plagued the years leading up to the election, the government emerged as the shining example of stability. Aletheia promised truth, disclosure, and unity and to most, they delivered.

Aletheia won the last election with overwhelming support. They presented themselves as the movement built on the desire for order and control. People had grown tired of the noise and confusion. In Aletheia, they saw the hope of a future where knowledge was a tool for progress. Education was sacred and Aletheia controlled how it was delivered. There were no gaps in the citizens' knowledge and above all, there was no room for misinformation. Many labeled them as the protectors of truth.

Toronto, once known for its lush green parks, had transformed into something unrecognizable. The skyline was now dominated by modern buildings and towering condominiums. The few conservation areas that remained were carefully maintained and viewed as symbols of peace. The rest of the city had 32-story buildings sprouting left and right as the demand for a living place had never been greater, with people flocking the city. Each neighbourhood had its own sleek Learning Center. Some were more advanced than others, with state-of-the-art simulations and AI assistants guiding students through immersive lessons. These centers were better funded, located in higher-income areas where families could afford to live and work in harmony with Aletheia's vision.

Human teachers were the heart of every Learning Center. Once the only source of knowledge in the classroom, these teachers now worked alongside AI assistants. Thanks to the AI, teachers could focus on leading diverse class discussions, planning their lessons, while the assistants gave students a more personalized learning experience and took care of marking assessments. This collaborative partnership ensured that no student was left behind. To quality for the top scholarships and move onto the best learning Learning Centers, students had to pass standardized tests designed by Aletheia. These measured not only academic excellence but also the student's ability to align with Aletheia values.

What is Aletheia? (Victoria)

Aletheia had secured its position through a decisive victory in the last election. Framed as a referendum on stability versus chaos, the campaign promised an era of clarity and peace after years of misinformation. Aletheia's campaign focused on their ability to restore trust in education and governance, emphasizing its sophisticated algorithms and unbiased teachers, referred to as Curators of knowledge, as the solution to humanity's fractured knowledge systems. With overwhelming support, Aletheia solidified its authority. However, some argued that the election was engineered. They pointed to the controlled media, which only advertised Aletheia's fortes while silencing voices of the opposition. This election result marked a turning point for Canada. It was now the pillar of truth with the full weight of public trust behind it...or so they thought. For better or for worse, Aletheia would shape the future of humanity's understanding of the world.
