mesh network
A mesh network is a communication topology lauded for nodes holding hands for the greater good, yet in practice, it’s a drama of cascading failures. A single dying node inflicts its woes upon its peers, turning solidarity into chaos. Champions of distribution extol its virtues, but they merely scatter the trouble around. Building one demands wiring hell, and operating one is a battle against invisible blind spots. Ultimately, what matters isn't the ideal, but the recovery operations assuming inevitable collapse.
