Tolerance
The CA is controlled by the following buttons:
Start: Two
overlapping CA are planted.
Hide CA-1 Hide CA-2
Out CA-1+: raise output rate Out CA-1-: reduce
output rate
Out CA-2+: raise output rate Out CA-2-: reduce output
rate
Injury: Injure CA-1
Information:
Output rates.
CA resources of the entire system.
When the experiment starts two overlapping zygotes are planted
(click on Hide CA-2). Both CA mature to their default attractor
(solution of 46 states). They are synchronous and accumulate
resources to a maximum indicated by the black line.
1. Click on injury which injures CA-1. Note: 1. resources
are rapidly replenished. 2. The CA are asynchronous.
2. Click on injury wait till resources are replenished
then click again Note: the time to replenishment varies. It depends
on which CA-1 state was injured.
3. If necessary Hide CA-2. Click injury twice or more.
Note: 1. CA size is proportional to its resources. 2. Even following
repeated injuries resources will be replenished. 3. Generally
the system will not reach its initial state since the CA are asynchronous.
4. The CA accumulate resources only when overlapping. 5. The rate
of recovery varies. The faster the recovery the healthier the
CA.
CA health (tolerance) is a pair (2-tuple) {Amount of resources,
rate of recovery}
 |
4. Click on Start and wait until the
CA mature (resources are replenished). Click on Out CA-2
and set CA-2 output rate = 0.5 Resources will settle at a new
level
5. Click on injury (CA-1 is injured)
 |
If during recovery the CA separate they lose more resources and
recovery takes longer
 |
6. Click on Start and wait until the CA mature (resources
are replenished). Click on Out CA-2 and set CA-2 output
rate = 1.0. As long as the CA find themselves resources will settle
at a new level, otherwise they will oscillate. 7. Click on injury
 |
8. Click several times on injury. The system drops to minimal
tolerance. Whenever the two meet resources rise.

9. Set CA-2 output rate = 0.
Note: Output rates were set in CA-2 while only CA-1 was injured
