Episode 13: The robust-yet-fragileness of real systems

Summary:

We explore the design of highly hypothetical forests showing how Highly Optimized Tolerance (HOT) theory can explain the appearance of power-law size distributions of bad things happening to generally robust systems. We don't quite make it all the way through. More in the next episode. To succeed, make sure you have a one-in-a-million chance.
