Kauffman NK Random Boolean Network — Attractors

N (nodes): 16 K (inputs/node): 2 New Network Pause

K=1: frozen (ordered) phase — all nodes freeze. K=2: critical — ~√N attractor length. K≥3: chaotic phase — exponentially long attractors, high sensitivity. The K=2 critical point is Kauffman's model of the "edge of chaos" in biology.
