Gilbert, who had noticed similarities between discrete and continuum percolation, then used concepts and techniques from the probability subject of branching processes to show that a threshold value existed for the infinite or "giant" component.

Critics have noticed similarities and differences with the ring-based plot of Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen; Tolkien denied any connection, but at the least, both men drew on the same mythology. Another source is Tolkien's analysis of Nodens, an obscure pagan god whose temple he visited at Lydney Park; an inscription there contained a curse on the thief of a ring. Tolkien rejected the idea that the story was an allegory, saying that applicability to situations such as the Second World War and the atomic bomb was a matter for readers. Other parallels have been drawn with the Ring of Gyges in Plato's Republic, which conferred invisibility and corrupted its owners, though there is no suggestion that Tolkien borrowed from the story.
