The Data Integrated Sentient Entity (more commonly known as the Data Integration Thought Entity) is a conglomerate of the sentient data organisms which supervise the part of the galaxy in which Earth is in. It is divided into five or more factions—Moderates, the Innovative, the Compromise, the Thinking party and the Radical faction—which do not necessarily agree or even cooperate with each other on basic goals. It is represented on Earth through a group of humaoid interfaces, such as Yuki Nagato, which observe the possibly reality-warping being who goes by the name "Haruhi Suzumiya", and to prevent any time lapses or anomalies which may occur due to her abilities.
