Simplifying Complexity - The Noise Is There to Correct Errors
The robustness of these systems is this almost this tug of war between the need for structure and feedback. It's essentially the noise, which we probably would think of as a bad thing if you're not in the complexity space,. That's providing the variation you need for the system to adapt. Carolina: Although the noise seems like a bug, it is required both to generate the structure in the first place.
