Explanation

Cascading Failure refers to the failure or collapse of interconnected systems where the failure of one component triggers failures in connected components, potentially leading to system-wide collapse. This is distinct from the Butterfly Effect (sensitivity to initial conditions), Chain Reaction (self-sustaining sequence), and Byzantine Failure (faulty nodes in distributed systems).
