Simple biological controllers drive the evolution of soft modes.

Abstract excerpt

Biological systems, with many interacting components, face high-dimensional environmental fluctuations, ranging from diverse nutrient deprivations to toxins, drugs, and physical stresses. Yet, many biological control mechanisms are "simple," i.e., restoring homeostasis through low-dimensional representations of the system's high-dimensional state. How do low-dimensional controllers maintain homeostasis in...
