(A) Isostatic lattice created from a Kagome lattice. (B) Weakly connected network of struts and balls exhibits a finite amplitude mode of deformation that costs zero energy, represented by the dashed line. (C) Topologically equivalent network obtained by smoothly deforming the system shown in B violates the Maxwell criterion and displays five zero-energy modes [Adapted from Sun et al. (2)].
