Criticality Measures in NKCSW Tests
- W = world. Each species depends on W world/environmental factors.
- Pre-perturbation state = Nash Equilibrium (NE)
- Perturbation = change of a world variable, W*.
- Effect (Avalanche) = Species dependent upon W* may be able to mutate/hill-climb to
higher fitness, thereby affecting the fitness landscapes of other species.
- Avalance Size = (# changing species per timestep) * (timesteps until NE re-attained)
