The show is oriented around a fictitious law enforcement technology called the Sibyl System. This system is capable of determining the intent of people, and based on that, it can predict crimes and criminal intent, allowing law enforcement to preventively take action. The kicker is, as the MC learns, that there are people who the system doesn't seem to work on.
Minor(?) plot point spoiler ahead for season one:
Later on the story the main character further learns that the system is actually a mainframe made up of living human brains connected together. Hence the relation.
