A critical aspect of present-day life is complex networks of mutually interacting components that show attractor behavior. Interestingly, these networks often display a multiplicity of such high-dimensional dynamic attractors, as well as controlled transitions among them. For example, coexisting attractors have been observed for metabolic networks of self-organized multi-enzymatic complexes . The authors suggest that through coordinated catalytic interactions, the metabolic network may transition among different attractor quasi-stationary states in response to external stimuli. This aspect has been thoroughly researched in another paper , showing transitions among attractors as an innate adaptive cellular response to environmental changes even in the absence of signal transduction. The authors describe this response as simple yet robust, and suggest it may represent a primordial mechanism of adaptation.
