Consequences of permanent perturbation of RBNs’ attractors. The first row (a) refers to networks having 10 nodes, whereas the second row (b) shows results of 100 nodes nets (100 nets for each situation). The first column shows the fraction of experiments where, under the action of a permanent perturbation, the RBN goes to a different attractor, the second column shows the fraction of cases where the new attractors are equivalent to one of the old ones, and the third column shows the fraction of cases where the original attractor is recovered after removal of the (semi-permanent) perturbation. See the text for more detailed explanations.
