How Complex Systems Cope With Noise: Balancing Centralized and Decentralized Control

Abstract

We investigated two complementary topics: how living things respond to stochasticity and how we as modelers do the same. In particular, we examined the strategies organisms use for maintaining and enhancing function in unpredictable environments, and the strategies used to model complexity in the face of stochasticity.
