John, Your comments appear to be addressing reliability, rather than stability...

Switches may connect or disconnect Canada, equipment is constantly failing and being repaired, etc. In any case, this doesn't seem to be related to stability, other than it being a lot easier to analyze a fixed network rather than a variable network. > A distributed AGI need not be that > fixed, it could lose chunks of itself but grow them out somewhere else. > Though a distributed AGI could be required to run as a fixed network. > > Some traditional telecommunications networks are power grid like.
