Degeneracy: a link between evolvability, robustness and complexity in biological systemsJames M Whitacre
School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, UK
Theor Biol Med Model 7:6. 2010..In support of this hypothesis, we present evidence that degeneracy is a fundamental source of robustness, it is intimately tied to multi-scaled complexity, and it establishes conditions that are necessary for system evolvability...
Networked buffering: a basic mechanism for distributed robustness in complex adaptive systemsJames M Whitacre
School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, UK
Theor Biol Med Model 7:20. 2010..It may also help explain recent developments in understanding the origins of resilience within complex ecosystems...
