Canalizing Kauffman networks: nonergodicity and its effect on their critical behavior.

Paper summary

Analyzes the order-to-chaos transition in Boolean networks built from canalizing functions. The proposed criterion accounts for nonergodic activity patterns and is compared with numerical simulations.

Relevance to the project

Suggests initialization-ensemble and perturbation tests for intrinsic dynamics. Function distribution and actual visited states may matter as much as nominal graph degree.

Boolean networksCellular automata

Boolean-network criticality does not specify a desired regime for neural F.
