Emergent behavior in biological systems
Green, D. |
|
| Abstract | |
| Underlying many kinds of emergent behavior in biology are the critical changes in connectivity that occur, as links increase between the elements of a system. The behavior of systems with near-critical connectivity is essentially chaotic and may be an important source of variety in biology. In most models of biological systems (for example, dynamical systems, cellular automata, state spaces) the patterns of connectivity between elements are isomorphic to directed graphs. These isomorphisms suggest that the above sources of emergent behaviour may be universal. | |
