Abstract

This chapter offers insights into the science of the risk and vulnerability with a focus on airflow dispersion approach related to cellular automaton. This discussion, finding itself in the awkward position of having to trade mathematical sophistication and rigor, versus intelligibility and practicality, of the varied stakeholders around, relies heavily on real-life indications associated with challenges of globalization of markets, regionalization of ethnic crucibles, transborder labor, cultural overflows, clashes, and the consecutive ‘reactive adaptation’ commonly known as terrorism.
