The system was formed as an initiative on behalf of the United States government after reports from private research facilities such as Google and Apple indicated that search results were inherently flawed due to inaccuracies and false information, which could be used to manipulate opinion or extract private information about individuals without their consent. Technology companies disputed those claims and stated they had implemented sufficient means of sorting good information from bad, but their attempts were not enough.
The GRT's global data pool is updated with every piece of new information published online and by physical means, which is then stored on extremely secure servers across the world with multiple forms of back up to ensure that no piece of stored knowledge goes missing. Citizens are able to access this data at their own convenience via any form of computing device (desktop computers, laptops, handheld devices like tablets and smartphones) through the use of a specially designed application which uses an algorithm that is constantly updating based on each user's previous searches or actions taken within it.
When inputting search queries into the application, the system will attempt to match keywords its entire storehouse of knowledge before suggesting the most likely outcome and allowing the user to refine their search if necessary.
Algorithm updates occur multiple times a day based on daily usage of the application by users, meaning that more recent results are displayed higher than older ones as people's interests change. The standardised update period of 24 hours ensures that outdated information (i.e information published over two weeks ago) is weeded out and replaced with fresher data for future generations.
The change in algorithm has been praised by users around the world who report feeling like they can easily navigate through this system to find exactly what they're looking for and nothing else, unlike other similar systems which often display irrelevant or false data alongside those which actually need researching further.
Users can also report data that they believe to be inaccurate or misleading, and the system's administrators will look into it and make a final judgement on whether or not it should remain.
Essentially, the algorithm works like this: When you enter your search query, we firstly return all documents containing any of your keywords; we then take each document and compute a score for how well it matches your search query. We then return the top documents, ordered by their scores, as the result set.
The THE GRAPH system has been under construction since early 2010 by a United States government-owned company called Government Resources Technology Incorporated (GRT Inc.), who are contracted solely to build, maintain and update THE GRAPH.
GRT Inc. are based in Silicon Valley, California and have a branch office located in Atlanta, Georgia where the development of the system is monitored on a daily basis to ensure that it remains stable. The company also employs some of the world's foremost mathematicians, programmers and engineers to continually work on improving the system's capacity for efficiently analysing data on behalf of its users.
GRT Inc. are also responsible for some of the world's most advanced technology, including but not limited to self-driving vehicles, facial recognition software and voice recognition software, all of which is used by the U.S government to keep its citizens safe.
