- In infrastructure, networks extend service to peripheral nodes faster than generation or maintenance grows, and a peripheral shock cascades back to the core.
This sourceA grid is engineered to withstand loss of a single element (N-1); when a peripheral outage redistributes flow onto neighbors lacking spare capacity, overloaded lines trip and the failure cascades back toward the core — the infrastructure instance.
