The concept of robustness in the context of most work in Alife and complex systems implies that the results of a given model remain consistent despite unexpected variation. For example, homeostatic coupling between an animat and the environment is one possible simple form of robustness which we have demonstrated in simple simulation models (Ikegami et al., 2008, BioSystems, 91, p. 388), in whic...
