We all know that full, smart ais will show signs of rampancy after 7 years. But we were told in season 9 or 10 flashbacks (classroom ai theory scene) that fragments of ais are governed by different rules than full ai.

Argueable, ever since Epsilon "remembered everything" in Season 10 he is a full ai (even though that logic is sketchy.)  We have seen Epsilon pull out a Theta and Delta fragment so far so it isn't insane to think Church is a full ai.

Anyways it appears as though he started his first signs of rampancy in the 12th episode although im sure if you payed attention to the show closer you could find more hints of rampancy. This would explain why he is dead at the end of season 13. Since IF he was rampant, then he would jeopardize any future operations or mabye he saw the fact that he is dieing anyways and he sacrificed himself.
