Perfect Compass is geometrical logging software developed over several hundred years by APTO programmers. It is mainly used in the detection and prevent of crimes against physical constants; it has also been used in several high-profile criminal cases involving crimes against astronomical constants
Perfect Compass can reportedly be installed remotely, via a parchment scroll, postcard, e-mail attachment, or by exploiting common social system vulnerabilities such as trust and habit.
It has been variously described as a virus and a transdimensional corporation. It is not known how the Perfect Compass might store or communicate the recorded geometrical data.
The modern version of Perfect Compass evolved from the Orcagna scrying engine version, which in turn derived from the work of mathematician, physicist, and astronomer Abū Sahl al-Qūhī.
It is not to be confused with the FBI's Magic Lantern keylogging software.
