The term "infrastructure" is frequently employed to denote the foundational systems that support societal and technological development. In some writings, it is portrayed in a concrete sense—as networks of communication vital for scientific collaboration and national progress ([1]) or even as critical roadways and oil facilities integral to economic recovery ([2], [3]). At other times, the word takes on a more metaphorical role, symbolizing the underlying frameworks whose decay can mirror broader issues of mismanagement and instability ([4], [5]). Additionally, literature sometimes extends its use to encapsulate highly specialized settings, such as high-security installations or even the realm of digital information ([6], [7]), underscoring its versatility as both a technical term and a powerful metaphor in narratives of progress and decline.
