I 134
Complexity/Kauffman: on the one hand such a high degree of orderliness that stability is guaranteed, but on the other hand much flexibility and surprise potential.
>Order, >Stability.
Order/complexity/network/Kauffman: e. g. network of light bulbs, green = flashing, red = permanently on or off. "Mental film".
I 135
Example N = 1000, K = 20: almost all are green and flashing.
Example N = 100,000, K = 2 (approximately human genome): at first most of the bulbs flash and are green. More and more converge to a red, stable state.
N.B.: when we ask ourselves whether these red bulbs are connected to each other, we find that they are frozen into a huge cluster! In addition, small and large clusters continue to flash.
Only these blinking now make up the cyclic behavior of Boolean networks that are in order. They are all not connected, they are islands in a sea of frozen red bulbs.
This happens, if you change the parameter P, the phase transition from chaos to order.
>Chaos.
