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.
