The Veil: A Structural Autopsy of Epiphany — A Revelation Junkies' Riddle — Our Apokalypsis The Our Gods Research Program began with orbital debris. Five substrates — orbital mechanics, autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity dependencies, spacetime cosmology, and civilizational governance — demonstrated that correlated failure scales quadratically (N²) regardless of what the coupled system is made of. The substrate changes. The math does not. The Bare, Naked Lie diagnoses the architecture of recursion — how structures built to manage proximity perform the substitution they were erected to prevent. A Trick Question Worthy of Exile (Movements 1–6) walks the cascade from a garden through a divine council through failed resets through a debris field to its terminus: N†, voluntary cost-acceptance by one not subject to its cost. The Pillars of Creation identified what holds up the architecture — two irreducible conditions (constitutive coupling and inescapable addressability), three geometrically forced positions (Source-address, Reference-expression, Coupling-operative), and the marriage between them that no removal test can dissolve. The Throne Room crosses from structure to occupation — tested four candidates for what lives inside the three positions, eliminated three, and reported that the surviving candidate has a name multiple communities arrived at independently across millennia. This paper opens the entire Book of Revelation. Twenty-two chapters examined through the same eliminative method applied to every prior substrate. The program's signature — coupled systems, cascade mechanics, generator-consequence distinction, N² scaling, and N† terminus — is tested against every chapter. The paper contributes one structural finding the prior corpus did not contain: Babylon as the generative matrix of the nine candidates identified in Pillars — not one of the towers, but the mother of towers. The method is structural, not confessional. No theology is imported. No creed is consulted. The same scalpel that identified cascade signatures in orbital debris is applied to a text that claims to be doing what the program's method does: removing a veil. Kill conditions are loaded in the Prologue and remain active throughout. If the architecture does not operate — if the signature fails to fire in any chapter — the paper reports the absence. The methodology survives even when hypotheses fail. The Veil marks the sixteenth publication in the Our Gods Research Program. The loop now closes. Recusion awaits...
