Description:
Extends the 'algebraic.dist' distribution algebra to random variables with internal structure: coherent reliability systems decomposed into components arranged by a structure function (series, parallel, k-out-of-n, bridge, and arbitrary topologies via minimal path sets). Every 'dist_structure' object is a 'dist', so the full distribution algebra (mean, vcov, sampler, surv, cdf) works automatically via default methods that compose component-level distributions through the topology. Adds structural queries: structure function evaluation, minimal path and cut sets, system signature, critical states, dual, Birnbaum structural importance, and system reliability. Topology shortcut constructors (series_dist, parallel_dist, kofn_dist, bridge_dist) produce ready-to-use dists from component dists and a chosen structure.
