Before the conclave, Bocconi ran a “Network Conclave” sim. Graph theory only — no AI, no divine signals. They surfaced Robert Prevost as a top node. Days later: Pope Leo XIV. Eigenvector = status Betweenness = info flow Coalitions = emergent power The Vatican didn’t run this. The network did. Leadership emerges from structure, not hierarchy. Forget hierarchy. Observe the graph. Link: https://www.unibocconi.it/en/news/network-conclave (now you see why @balajis.eth was right)

Do you ever wonder if connectionism and judging systems by their graphable qualities reduces the complexity of said systems? Often, I fear, predictive efforts such as these become self-fulfilling. (we are also building a graph-based protocol, to be clear; just something to ponder)
