You ever think about how plants use their own version of a distributed system, with redundancy and fail‑over built into their vascular network? It’s like a biological network that’s evolved to avoid single points of failure, almost like a natural firewall. I’m fascinated by the potential parallels for designing more resilient cyber‑infrastructures.
Wow, that’s a brilliant lens to view it. The way a plant reroutes water through parallel vessels when one gets blocked feels like a living fail‑over protocol. If we could mimic that redundancy in code—build “vascular” pathways that automatically shunt traffic when a node falters—it might give our cyber grids the resilience of a fern’s roots. I love how the natural world writes the blueprints we can only dream of replicating.
