MAGI Supercomputers

The MAGI Supercomputers is the group of three supercomputers that control NERV headquarters. Although Balthasar, Melchor and Caspar may look the same, they differ in programming. This difference makes a good Artificial Intelligence possible and sometimes the MAGI would also deliberate on a problem.

 

The MAGI Supercomputers used the personality transplant OS, where the personality of a person is transferred to a seventh generation system (same with an Evangelion). Since Ritsuko 's mother (Dr. Naoko Akagi) worked with the development of the MAGI system, her brain was placed inside the MAGI system.

MELCHIOR-1 has the transplanted thought pattern of Naoko as a scientist, BALTHASAR-2 as a mother and CASPER-3 as a woman.

 
The name MAGI comes from the three wise men from the east who prophesied the birth of Jesus in the New Testament. MELCHIOR, BALTHASAR and CASPER are also taken from the names of these wise men. At the beginning of episode 25 ' "Air", five MAGI-type computers in Matsushiro (MAGI-2), Germany, the US and China tried to hack into the original MAGI located in NERV HQ.
 
The system was finished in the year 2010 AD, the same year when Ritsuko 's mother committed suicide.
