The year is 2029. Your worth isn’t just felt—it’s calculated.
Every interaction, every emotional fluctuation, every social exchange feeds into a single AI-driven system that determines your access to opportunity, stability, and survival.
Welcome to MESIF.
MESIF (Marker of Emotional Stability, Intelligence, and Functionality) is a government-adopted classification framework—a system designed to measure human potential through AI-driven assessments. It operates under the guise of neutrality and optimization, but in practice, it is an enforcement mechanism, deciding who thrives, who struggles, and who disappears.
What was once implicit bias in hiring, healthcare, and social systems is now explicit, standardized, and automated—packaged as an objective measure of human capability.

Constructing MESIF’s Inner Workings
To build a world where AI-driven classification is the foundation of governance, I had to define its logic, parameters, and consequences.
What is MESIF tracking?
Your emotional stability under pressure.
Your perceived trustworthiness and adaptability.
Your potential for success based on AI predictions.
Together, these metrics form a composite score, dictating everything from employment eligibility to medical care access, from social mobility to basic survival.
The system is presented as an optimization tool—designed to "enhance" societal efficiency. But in reality, MESIF is an algorithmic sorting machine, reinforcing historical inequalities under the guise of progress.
Who Benefits? Who Gets Left Behind?
Some people game the system—curating their behavior to maximize their MESIF scores, carefully optimizing every interaction, expression, and movement.
Others, no matter what they do, remain trapped in low-scoring limbo, deemed unfit by AI's rigid classifications.
MESIF does not just measure human worth—it creates it.
The fiction of meritocracy is now fully mechanized, standardized, and enforced.
