Crime Coefficient:
A person's Crime Coefficient is a numerical measure of said person's probability/propensity to commit a crime. It is one part of a person's overall Psycho-Pass. The MWPSB uses this measurement to determine if a target is a latent criminal or otherwise. It is calculated and determined by the target's stress level (Hue) and other biological readings via cymatic scan by the Sibyl System.
Under 100 ‒ Civilians and Inspectors
Suspect is not a target for enforcement action. The trigger of Dominator will be locked.
100 to 299 ‒ Criminals and Enforcers
Suspect is classified as a latent criminal and is a target for enforcement action. Dominator is set to Non-Lethal Paralyzer mode. Suspect can then be knocked out using the Dominator.
Over 300 ‒ Criminals
Suspect poses a serious threat to the society. Lethal force is authorized. Dominator will automatically switch to Lethal Eliminator. Suspect that is hit by Lethal Eliminator will bloat and explode.
Dominator:
Dominator Portable Psychological Diagnosis and Suppression System or the 45MW.TRG Dominator is the iconic handgun carried by enlisted Inspection and Enforcement officers. The gun is able to determine the identity of its holder, and requires authentication and wireless connection to the Sibyl System in order to operate. Also, each individual gun can only be heard by the user currently registered to it.
When the Dominator is aimed at a target, it continuously reads and sends psychological data ‒ Psycho-Pass ‒ about the person on which it is focused to the Sibyl System for a calculation of their Crime Coefficient. When this value exceeds a certain level ‒ indicating that the target is mentally unstable and more likely to commit a violent crime, the gun will be able to fire. If the level does not exceed fixed levels, the muzzle will not open and a safety device will be activated to prevent the user from pulling the gun's trigger. The gun is unable to work when it is not linked wirelessly to the Sibyl System in most circumstances.
Before the gun fires, the muzzle opens up to reveal a complicated mechanism inside, part of which is used to read the suspect's criminality. When the gun does fire, it lets out a bullet the color of sky blue.
Non-Lethal Paralyzer -
"Enforcement mode is Non-Lethal Paralyzer. Aim calmly and disable the target."
The Dominator's standard mode fires energy bursts that paralyze the target. The gun does not need to transform for this mode. It is used to capture suspects in order to safely bring them into custody. The effect may be reduced or negated if the target is under the influence of strong stimulants.
The trigger of the gun is locked by default until the onboard-scanner identifies a person in the gun's sights as having a Crime Coefficient exceeding 100 points and with the gun's grip in the hand of a registered and authorized user. This is to guarantee that there are no innocent victims and to prevent abuse.
Lethal Eliminator -
"Enforcement mode is Lethal Eliminator. Aim carefully and eliminate the target."
The anti-person lethal mode of the Dominator. When it changes to this state, the lower portion of the gun undergoes a rather elaborate transformation which includes swiveling, sliding and flipping around most parts while the gun tells its user to what mode it changes. It takes somewhere between two and four seconds.
In this mode the weapon will shoot a huge burst of energy which, upon contact with the target, affects all organic and inorganic matter. Following impact on a human target, everything behind the impact is annihilated. The process takes about two seconds and is quite visually violent. What remains is some of the corpse with an eighteen inch or more hole in it and a spray of fine red mist. Being shot in a limb while the gun is in this mode often leaves the target alive, albeit severely injured with said limb lost.
Use of the Lethal Eliminator mode is restricted to individuals whose Crime Coefficient exceeds 300 points. Once the Dominator has transformed, it will only revert to its non-lethal mode when unhanded, a few seconds after the last threat disappears one way or the other from the sensor's field of view, or when the Sibyl System decides the wielder is unauthorized, insufficiently qualified, or too cloudy to use the weapon ‒ though this typically is a person-specific lockout, until permission is re-granted from HQ.
Destroy Decomposer -
"Enforcement mode is Destroy Decomposer. Target will be completely eliminated. Please be careful."
The Dominator's Anti-Material mode. This setting provides the user with a literal hand-cannon blast of three to six feet in diameter, intended to deal with armored targets like the ever-present drones, and possibly to create entry points into buildings. The Destroy Decomposer also works splendidly on organic material, leaving not half a trace of it behind. Each Dominator can fire only a maximum of three Decomposer shots.
Psycho-Pass:
A Psycho-Pass is a reading of an individual's mind via cymatic scan. It shows a Crime Coefficient, a Hue, a graph of how the individual's Psycho-Pass changed over time, and the profile of the person. It is calculated by the Sibyl System. The worsening of a Psycho-Pass is taken care of through therapy sessions. But if one ignores such warnings and their Psycho-Pass is further clouded, they are declared a latent criminal.
Hue
A Hue is a person's stress level. Every citizen in Sibyl's database is assigned a certain color depending on the state of their Psycho-Pass. Clear colors such as light blue or pink indicate a strong and healthy Psycho-Pass. While colors such as medium green or steel blue indicate a deteriorated Psycho-Pass.
A clouded Hue is usually occurs because of stress. For example, violent urges or nervous reactions an individual may feel can cloud the Hue. The very presence of the MWPSB's Enforcers is enough to cloud someone's Hue.
The cloudier the Hue, the darker it is and the clearer the hue, the lighter it is.
Sibyl System:
The Sibyl System is the private organization that created and manages the Psycho-Pass technology and the Dominators. They work alongside the government to manage crime in Japan. Sibyl founds the Public Safety Bureau and rules over its personnel and the country with an iron fist.
CommuField:
CommuFields are virtual games in the world of Psycho-Pass. To enter, a person must attach machinery to themselves and log in to their account. The owner of a CommuField needs to keep his/her popularity up, otherwise they won't be able to make any profit. This is necessary because people who own CommuFields are usually unemployed. Doing things like missing appearances or challenges will lead to a decrease in popularity, thus income.
