Primes¶
- Substitutability
- Kashtan and Alon (2005) demonstrate that modular network structure can even evolve spontaneously when goals shift across recombinable subgoals, suggesting that substitutable, swappable subsystems are themselves an evolved response to environments demanding flexibility.
This sourceShows that modular network organization with reusable motifs evolves spontaneously under modularly varying environmental goals; demonstrates that compositional independence at the network level emerges across domains (genetic, neural, engineered) wherever recombination of stable building blocks is selected for.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
