Similar impact of topological and dynamic noise on complex patterns
Shortcuts in a regular architecture affect the information transport through
the system due to the severe decrease in average path length. A fundamental new
perspective in terms of pattern formation is the destabilizing effect of
topological perturbations by processing distant uncorrelated information,
similarly to stochastic noise. We study the functional coincidence of rewiring
and noisy communication on patterns of binary cellular automata.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures. To be published in Physics Letters
