The Laplace Mail is an important element in Devil Survivor. The Laplace Mail is a COMP e-mail that gets sent exclusively to the protagonist and his party every morning of the Lockdown. The sender of the Laplace Mail is only identified as "The Observer". The mail holds predictions for what will happen on the day it arrives, which always come true. However, the party makes it a goal to prevent the Laplace Mail's predictions from coming true. The Laplace Mail is apparently a fully automated system, which would explain why it begins to glitch over time (symptoms being the distortion and incompleteness of the mails). It becomes progressively more difficult for the Laplace Mail to properly predict events due to the constant thwarting by the protagonist's party. It suffers from a complete break

  • The Laplace Mail is an important element in Devil Survivor. The Laplace Mail is a COMP e-mail that gets sent exclusively to the protagonist and his party every morning of the Lockdown. The sender of the Laplace Mail is only identified as "The Observer". The mail holds predictions for what will happen on the day it arrives, which always come true. However, the party makes it a goal to prevent the Laplace Mail's predictions from coming true. The Laplace Mail is apparently a fully automated system, which would explain why it begins to glitch over time (symptoms being the distortion and incompleteness of the mails). It becomes progressively more difficult for the Laplace Mail to properly predict events due to the constant thwarting by the protagonist's party. It suffers from a complete breakdown following the delivery of its last e-mail on the 6th day, in which it explicitly names the original party as among the dead before it self-terminates, listing the cause as "too many invalid parameters." The Laplace Mail and the Death Clock are believed to use what appears to be the same algorithm. The name Laplace is an homage to the French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace known for inventing Laplace Transforms which are used to translate and simplify otherwise difficult Differential Equations into easier domains of mathematics. Likewise, the Laplace Mail may translate outer-worldly demonic memos (perhaps even from the future) into comprehensible COMP e-mails for COMP users to understand.
