Overview
This course explores the collapse of networks, focusing on topics such as emergent properties, control theory, self-organization, renewable energy integration, architectures, risk assessment, and societal dynamics. The course aims to teach students about the reasons behind network collapses and the role of various factors such as renewable energy, equilibria, and social hierarchies. The teaching method involves discussing concepts like self-amplification, conserved cascades, and talent-dominated societies. This course is intended for individuals interested in understanding the vulnerabilities and dynamics of complex networks.
