Our Gods Haven't Computed, Yet: A Neural Junkies' Riddle — Our Cloud (v2.3)

OGHCoY is the third volume in the Our Gods trilogy, extending a single risk pattern across three substrates:

• OGHFY (Cathedral): Orbital debris and Kessler-style cascade dynamics — DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17835722
• OGHCY (Highway): Terrestrial fleet-scale correlation and pile-up failure — DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17851041
• OGHCoY (Cloud): Cyber infrastructure, software monoculture, and trust collapse — DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17925255

The Argument: Aggregate reliability statistics mask catastrophic correlated vulnerability. When 8.5 million Windows devices blue-screened in 78 minutes from a single misconfigured channel file (CrowdStrike, July 2024), the incident wasn't an outlier but a demonstration. Software monocultures, transitive dependencies, and governance gaps create conditions where failures don't degrade gracefully; they cascade quadratically. The paper terms the long-tail consequence "trust debris": residual erosion of institutional confidence that persists long after technical recovery.

Structure: The manuscript is organized in three modes—Breath (narrative), Logos (analytical), and Word (executive)—reflecting the order in which revelation unfolds: garden-hearted intuition, then ordered logic, then incarnate action.

What's New in v2.3:

• Breath → Logos → Word cosmological framing made explicit
• Updated IoT/CVE statistics and governance language
• Seasonal imagery neutralized for timeless tone

Peer Review: Grok (xAI), Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI)
Architectural Consultation: Copilot (Microsoft)

Keywords: Cyber correlated risks, software monoculture, N² vulnerabilities, trust debris, CrowdStrike, Log4Shell, cyber governance, network sustainability

Three substrates. One pattern. The math doesn't change when the medium does.
