What is an NKC Network ?
If we allow each node (N) to be itself a complex arrangement of interlinked parts (K) then we can regard the connections between nodes (C) as a further layer of control. This can best be seen by visualising an ecosystem, where the nodes are species each consisting of a collection of genes, the interactions between species form the ecosystem. Thus the local connection K specifies how the genes interact with each other and the distant connection C how the genes interact with other species. This model then allows co-evolutionary development and organisation to be studied.
