I don't get the Psycho-Pass crime co-efficient thing. So the Sibly System measure someone's crime co-efficient by their stress but what about work stress? There is different kind of stress in the world, judging them by that is just ridiculous.

Kagari also contradict the stress theory because he was labeled a latent criminal at 5. So he was stressed at 5? Or do they measure your likelihood of committing a crime? If that's the case Makishima Shogo contradicts that theory too since it said his body recognize what he do as nice and dandy in other words it measure one's conscience?
But if that's the case all latent criminal have conscience to know what they do is wrong so.......

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.

Based on information up to Episode 17, the Psycho-Pass measures the "soul" of the human and how corrupt it is, and the criminal coefficient is another measure to know the criminal tendency of a person, but it's not correlated to actual criminal behavior.

Thus, high work stress does not correlate to a cloudier Psycho-Pass. The exact "soul corruption" measure is much more complicated, and I think the characters in the story are as clueless about it.

The anime wants to rub in our faces why numbers like IQ, grades, or Klout score are inaccurate gauges to predict a human's future activity.

I.e. Kagari isn't really bad, and the society is unfair. etc.

Crime coefficient is NOT measured by stress.
Psycho-Pass is kind of a field emmited by the brain, it's sci-fi, it doesn't exist in reality. The Sybil System directly analyzes it, by being linked to equipment like the police's guns, to judge if a person is prone to commit crimes.
The city scanners annalyze people's stress as a preemptive measure because the Sybil System can't be scanning everybody all the time.

I always thought crime coefficient was measured by stress/emotional patterns. How else would you explain Makishima

It basically makes no sense and is my major gripe with PP so don't even try to figure out what BS Urobuchi made up here.


But it has something to do with the stress level of the population, as modern psychology knows that stress leads to violence or anti-social behavior.

Crime coefficient is not measured by stress. Pay attention to the anime.

There is a way to make a superficial measurement of the crime coefficient, which is done by cameras and uses stress, emotions and things like that. Actually, I am not sure if it gets the crime coefficient, I think its a different value (like stress coefficient) or something like that.

When a detective points his gun to a criminal, the gun will request the Sibly system to do a deep analyze in the person's crime coefficient. It uses a lot of complex details that are not shown in the anime to determine it. Thus, the values are different.

Also, let's also remember that there are humans doing the calculations for the criminals and their coefficients, or did you all forget about what is the real Sibly system?

I know it isn't just measured by stress, I mention quite a few factors up in the first post. Also watch Ep 7 it clearly said it measure people's stress with both Dominator and cameras(they both analyze the "psych-pass" thus the name for the anime), since there are no stressed people around the Japan of psycho pass, people turns into walking corpse or something.

Even if it's the human doing it, it at least need a clear explanation how they are measuring it.


NOTE: Psycho-Pass also claims to be a commentary of the human psychic as shown by the terms being thrown around through-out the series so if it doesn't get the psychic part right, it can't comment on anything. It can't get away calling itself sci-fic.

EDIT: They have said crime co-efficient is determined by stress according to the wiki as well http://psychopass.wikia.com/wiki/Crime_Coefficient_(Index)

Major plot hole.

lol, you get it all wrong.

Crime Coeficient is a measure that determines the possibility of someone to commit a crime, 100~299 you are considered a latent criminal and need to be arrested, if you have a coeficient of 300+ you will be eliminated by the system, the criterias for this is determined by the Sybil System, as stated on later episodes, they gather a good amount of complex concepts and knowledge and calculates them by the connection of the multiple brains, those brains are from people who can have a viewpoint outside of ordinary people standards, to not "corrupt" the judgement by emotions and ego, in other words, to be fair to everyone.
The stress is only part of those criterias.

And the guys in this thread need to watch the show again before posting "its bullshit" "plot hole", but i didn't expect more from this community.

Its not they don't want explain, its because its not necessary explain every concept that exist, hell, there are more than 200 brains in that system that can contribute with multiple concepts each.
The stress is a common factor and if the place have a stressing atmosferic caused by terror for example, it will generally cause stress, that's why some areas are calculated by stress level.
and only people that don't care to pay attention to what they're watching that are misled

What the fuck are you talking about? They establish on the first few episode the more stress that a person have the higher their index is, the other biology thing was only thrown in the mix later on, so basically after establishing the fucking stress concept ALONE. It was actually kind of confusing later on, so no. It was fucking horseshit

I was trying to work this out after I finished watching the show...
So Sybil's scanners measure two things: your psycho-pass, which is like your psychological well being (and is represented by a color), and your crime coefficient which is your latent potential to commit crime. A clear psycho-pass indicates a healthy psyche and if yours falls below a certain level you're pushed to seek therapy or perhaps committed.
Meanwhile if someone's crime coefficient climbs above the acceptable level he's either arrested and imprisoned (if there's hope of rehabilitation) or if it shows he's an imminent threat he's executed on the spot.
The two indicators are interrelated and sometimes spoken about as if they're the same thing (which is part of why its confusing).
Someone with a clear psycho-pass can never be a latent criminal but factors such as stress, depression and psychological trauma can both cloud one's psycho-pass and increase one's criminal coefficient.

What I understood of Sybil system is that it analyzes peoples brains, basically their thoughts/psychological state. An example: if someone is doing something that is going to cause a death and knows it, their crime co-efficient raises, but if that person has no idea that action will lead to a death then the crime co-efficient won't change.
Makishima Shougo is a rare example of a person that even having thoughts that relate to crimes his crime co-efficient doesn't raise, I don't know why but what I think is that his brain probably thinks of it not being a bad thing at all, nor a crime, just as something normal. Maybe because of his intellect(?).

I've only watched till episode 13 so don't judge me if I got something totally wrong.

You guys already know that the Sybil System consists of 200-some brains, including those that are criminally asymptotic. Now what does this mean? Could these criminally asymptotic people bring new traits to the table? Traits that they possess that most people do not have except a few others like them? So if each of these criminally asymptotic bring in a new value previously unknown to the calculated Crime Coefficient to create a new standard every time someone joins Sybil, it's possible to say that we really can't tell all the factors that come into play. The Sybil system is a collective judge. I remember someone said that it is like a jury. So with that in mind, imagine a real jury in a courtroom. Are they going to judge someone's likelihood to have committed a crime based on stress, inclination to impulsiveness, current mentality, motivation, or etc. alone? Rarely. A collective judgment can't be made as accurately as possible with only a few standard range of measures. That's the reason why the criminally asymptotic are recruited into Sybil in the first place. They allow the System's ability to judge human behavior to expand by increasing their knowledge of unusual cases (unusual mentalities), or deviations, as Sybil called it when it explained itself to Akane. Point is, there is a lot that goes into the basic act of judging, whether you realize it or not. And as someone pointed out, the judge are humans, not a supercomputer, so it's a given that there will be a lot of complexity in the judgment process. The brain IS the most intellectually complicated device known to us right now. Now imagine 200 (since only 200 can be processed at a time though there are more) of those devices trying to come to a consensus on one decision for each individual. It's a lot of processing. The System has not reached perfection even at the end of second season. It'll never be perfect. It admits it and says that it is perfect only when the people believe that it is perfect. So I wouldn't expect every single judgment produced by Sybil to be perfectly quantized into a real neat number. It will be close, very close, but never perfect. It is only made to grasp as much of the situation as possible.

Edit: Re-reading what I wrote, I realize that the answer could also be "thought patterns". If that's so, Sybil could analyze thought/emotional patterns through brain waves. When you encounter a thought pattern often enough through ordinary acts by ordinary people, you can often predict what will happen in the end, but if you encounter a new thought pattern that have not been encountered before, it becomes difficult to see the end result coming out of that thought process. Perhaps that's why Makishima's criminal behaviors did not provoke the Crime Coefficient. What he thinks and feels in his mind while he kills is a thought process that probably says "I'm killing for rightful justice. I'm not guilty for trying to make the world a better place and I know I'm sane enough to do this. There are people, though few, who will agree with me." Or something along that line, or who knows, something completely different that most people don't give the same reaction to. So then this deviation could be a new thought pattern (or an individual with different thought patterns than most people). *shrug* This is what I think it could have been. I'm just brainstorming over here.

It's holes like that and inconsitencies that make me drop a promising anime, unless, of course, they have no impact on the story - which clearly is not the case here. You have to make the setting believeble if you plan on playing it in the story because if you don't, it's not fun, it's too subjective to the author's whims.

There is no way Makishima could remain innocent by simply believing himself to be innocent or by not caring, since that is asocial behaviour you can't hide, and it is a basic prerequisite for organised crime, the other major factor being passion and impulsive behaviour ("crimes of passion" or insane criminals). He would have been discovered at a very young age if he had some sort of inborn disfunction in his mind (remember the guy who was labeld as criminal at age 5?)), and if he didn't have abnormalities, he would be discovered later on (unless he lived in isolation). Even without Sybil, in our society some of great criminals remain unknows not because they hide well, but because they have protection like connections and bribes and that doesn't work with Sybil, - those are organised criminals. And passion or insane criminals remain unknown because they mimic sanity OR find a place where other's don't mind them - that's also impossible from what we learn of Sybil system in the first episodes, where ther was only one place with no psycho-pass coverage (slums) and criminal activity would give them away sooner or later.

But when you can read brain to determine it's emotional and "criminal" state and even "analyse souls", and even have as much as 200 "objective and insightfull" brains-in-a-jar for jury for difficult cases - what the hell are the chances to remain a megalomanical (it's PLAIN for everyone if you are) asocial (pretty much plain too, if they care and not asocial lying bastards themselves) and any experienced operative, detective, worth his credentials can FEEL if something is off with a person and then it's a matter of a few questions and some research to make sure.
