CHEMICAL ORGANIZATIONS IN A TOY MODEL OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM
DITTRICH, PETER; WINTER, LARS - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 11 (2008) 04, pp. 609-627
Because sociology is seeking mechanisms for explaining social phenomena, we discuss in this paper whether and how the metaphor of a chemical reaction network can be employed as a formal mechanism to describe social and political systems. A reaction network is a quite general concept that allows...

SIMPLIFYING BOOLEAN NETWORKS
RICHARDSON, KURT A. - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 08 (2005) 04, pp. 365-381
This paper explores the compressibility of complex systems by considering the simplification of Boolean networks. A method, which is similar to that reported by Bastolla and Parisi,4,5 is considered that is based on the removal of frozen nodes, or stable variables, and network "leaves," i.e....
