How do you see the world?
Most of us believe there are seven continents. In 2017, geologists confirmed an eighth: Zealandia, a landmass almost the size of India, 94 percent submerged beneath the Pacific. The tip of this iceberg is New Zealand. Five million people and fifty million cattle live on the peaks of a hidden continent. Zealandia’s submerged mass gave rise to one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth. Of New Zealand’s roughly 80,000 native species, more than half exist nowhere else. The hidden mass shaped the visible tip.
The world is full of such icebergs. Hidden systems shape the societies we live in. Health, work, and infrastructure are defined more by what lies beneath the surface than by what we see above it.
We glimpse this in daily life. A delayed shipment. A cancelled flight. A glitchy app. Small ripples that reveal deeper currents. Scale that up and the pattern becomes clear. A virus like COVID-19 cost the world trillions. A ship stuck in the Suez Canal froze global trade. A single software bug grounded planes worldwide. The visible crisis is only the tip. The true mass of interconnected systems lies beneath.
Billions of people live on the continents we see. The future will also be shaped by digital agents. Our mission is to ensure that these agents strengthen human systems rather than destabilize them. We are building digital societies that safeguard health, work, and infrastructure.
Born at MIT and proven across the world, our work spans the foundations of daily life. We have delivered vaccines to millions, secured supply chains worth billions against global risk, and guided workforce transformations shaping trillions in wages.
Across domains, the same truth emerges. Surface disruption is never the whole story. The hidden system beneath is what truly matters.
The ninth is being built by computation.
Beneath its surface lies a hidden mass of trillions of agents. They work to protect the eight human continents we call home.
