It looks function composition to me. g(f(x,y),h(w,z)) where they, say, swap around the order of f and h in g. In that way the evolved boolean network must evolve to remember how g, f, and h work independently to be efficient and coping with changes in ordering. Intuitively, it makes sense that changing the composition of functions from time to time would make each function be more robust. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
