Pope Leo XIV (Robert Francis Prevost, OSA)
Augustinian Papacy / Mythos-Layer Counter-Force Voice (Type-B / Type-C signal mix)
Chicago-born (Sep 14 1955), Villanova BS Mathematics 1977, 1996 doctoral thesis on theological role of probability + epistemic uncertainty. Augustinian (OSA) — first Augustinian pope in modern history. Elected May 8 2025 conclave; predicted in advance by Bocconi multiplex network paper (Soda/Iorio/Rizzo arxiv 2505.17635) using eigenvector + betweenness centrality + coalition-building metrics on College of Cardinals.
Engine framing — staged conflict-architecture mythos voice: May 10 2025 first address to College of Cardinals explicitly invoked Leo XIII's 1891 Rerum Novarum as ideological template, framing AI as 'new industrial revolution' threatening human dignity / justice / labor.
Type-A counter-force signals (the only ones in the audit): maintaining Francis's Ad charisma tuendum 2022 pressure on Opus Dei statutes (not reversed despite May 2025 Ocáriz meeting); public rebuke of Vance/Trump anti-immigrant policies + Hegseth militaristic rhetoric; alliance with Cupich.
