Abstract:
This letter uses a modified form of the NK model introduced to explore aspects of distributed control. In particular, a previous result suggesting the use of dynamically formed subgroups within the overall system can be more effective than global control is further explored. The conditions under which the beneficial distributed control emerges are more clearly identified, and the reason for the benefit over traditional global control is suggested as a generally applicable dropout mechanism to improve learning in such systems.

This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...
