My vote is "Object Based Intelligent Engine"  As a twentieth century 
AI developer, thats what OBIE was, although OBJECT is in Caps in this
case in that this computer dealt with objects in a more literal sense
than todays machines.

I wont defend this choice in terms of the story, its unfounded.   But
I had fun thinking of it.
