Primes¶
- Complexity
- Critical infrastructure (power grids, financial networks, supply chains) exhibits hidden interdependencies; local disruptions can cascade globally if systems are tightly coupled
This sourceFailure of a small fraction of nodes in one network can fragment a system of interdependent networks; tightly coupled networks amplify disruption — supports the critical-infrastructure cascade claim at D26-081. Verified existing and supporting.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Buldyrev et al. show in a model that failure of a small fraction of nodes in one network can cascade and fragment interdependent networks, with a power grid and communication network as the example.
“may lead to the complete fragmen- tation of all networks”
- Critical infrastructure (power grids, financial networks, supply chains) exhibits hidden interdependencies; local disruptions can cascade globally if systems are tightly coupled
- Teleconnection
- The cascade structure traced here is exactly the catastrophic-failure topology Buldyrev, Parshani, Paul, Stanley, and Havlin (2010) identified in interdependent networks, where coupling through shared infrastructure converts local faults into system-wide collapse.
This sourceDemonstrates how coupling between networks through shared dependencies produces system-wide cascades from local faults; structural backbone for software-service-degradation cascade as a teleconnection.

Buldyrev et al. show that dependency coupling lets a small failure in one network cascade to complete fragmentation of all coupled networks.
“Such a cascade of failures, triggered by a failure of a small faction of nodes in only one n etwork, may lead to the complete fragmentation of all networks.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
