Abstract Concept & Model Requirements Genetic_circuit Works About_our_team
To follow Pareto’s principle like an ant society, our model system must follow the three conditions shown in Fig. 1 to 3. In our model, all nodes (individual cells) have the same genetic circuits but take two states, A (worker) and B (idler), depending on the surrounding circumstances.
Condition 1. Bistable state
Fig. 1 The system is stable when it contains both node A and node B at certain ratio.
Condition 2. Unstable state with node A removed
Fig. 2 By removal of node A, the system containing only node B becomes unstable.
Condition 3. From unstable to stable state
Fig. 3 In the unstable state, some node B changes to node A while the others remain B. Then the system becomes stable again.
