CASCADE

A simulation of cascading failure in complex networks.
Click any hub to destroy it — then watch how the failure propagates through the system.
Which hub causes the most damage?

Tier 1 — Hyper Hub

Tier 2 — Structural Hub

Tier 3 — Functional Node

Tier 4 — Leaf Node (expendable)

Failed / Cascaded

Isolated (disconnected)

Warning — unstable

NETWORK FAILURE SIMULATOR

Developed by hachidori
with the help of Claude AI

An interactive simulation of cascading failure in complex networks, built on the scale-free network theory of Albert-László Barabási.

Destroy a hub. Watch civilization unravel —
or discover that some things just don't matter.
