Abstract
Description
The critical boundaries separating ordered from chaotic behavior in randomly wired S-state networks are calculated. These networks are a natural generalization of random Boolean nets and are proposed as on extended approach to genetic regulatory systems, sets of cells in different states or collectives of agents engaged into a set of S possible tasks. A order parameter for the transition is computed and analysed. The relevance of these networks to biology, their relationships with standard cellular automata and possible extensions are outlined.
