Networked buffering: a basic mechanism for distributed robustness in complex adaptive systems
James M Whitacre, Axel Bender
Here we propose a generic mechanism - networked buffering - for generating robust traits in complex systems that requires two basic conditions to be satisfied: 1) agents are versat…

Degeneracy: a link between evolvability, robustness and complexity in biological systems
James Whitacre, Axel Bender
A full accounting of biological robustness remains elusive; both in terms of the mechanisms by which robustness is achieved and the forces that have caused robustness to grow over…

Degeneracy: a design principle for achieving robustness and evolvability
James M Whitacre, Axel Bender
Robustness, the insensitivity of some of a biological system's functionalities to a set of distinct conditions, is intimately linked to fitness. Recent studies suggest that it may…
