NK Kauffman Model · Attractor Cycles · Order/Chaos at K=2
Attractors: 0 | Avg cycle: 0
Random Boolean network: N nodes, each with K random inputs and a random Boolean function.
K<2: ordered phase — few short attractors, small basins. K=2: critical — attractor cycle ~ √N.
K>2: chaotic — exponentially many long attractors. Kauffman's NK model as model of gene regulation.
