Abstract
Natural networks such as interacting genes or neurons tend to be stable with time. The stability is a predictable function of a liveliness factor of the network elements which for randomly chosen element functions is low, leading to a high stability. The property of stability is easily accessible to systems in nature without requiring special physical structures; random structures are sufficient.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
