In this deep dive, we unpack Menger's theorem—the elegant link between the minimum number of elements needed to disconnect two points and the maximum number of disjoint paths connecting them. We'll distinguish edge connectivity and vertex connectivity, explore how max-flow min-cut and linear programming underpin the same duality, and show how the theorem scales to infinite networks. Along the way, we connect the math to real-world resilience in road networks, data centers, and supply chains, and discuss practical implications for designing robust systems.
