Author(s): Amitava Bhattacharjee<br/><p>Nonlinear stability in magnetically confined plasmas is governed not only by local linear growth, but is fundamentally a connectivity property of the flux surface, governed by a topological percolation threshold.</p><img src="//cdn.journals.aps.org/journals/PRL/key_images/10.1103/6m2z-wlmb.png" width="200" height=\"100\"><br/>[Phys.
