Percolation theory — phase transition on a 120×120 grid.
Each cell is open with probability p. Below p_c≈0.593: no path from top to bottom. Above: a giant spanning cluster (gold) forms.
At the critical point: 50/50. The cluster size distribution becomes a power law — the spanning cluster is fractal.
Same math as: electrical conductance in disordered materials, forest fire spread, network robustness, oil extraction through rock.
Six panels: p=0.30 to p=0.90
