Mathematics touches everything in life, even music, is a mathematical philosophy!
In statistical physics and mathematics, percolation theory describes the behaviour of a network when nodes or links are added. This is a geometric type of phase transition, since at a critical fraction of addition the network of small, disconnected clusters merge into significantly larger connected, so-called spanning clusters. The applications of percolation theory to materials science and in many other disciplines are discussed here and in the articles Network theory and Percolation (cognitive psychology).
