From Boundary Crossings to Global Connectivity: A Minimal Mechanism in Structured Agent-Based Landscapes (2026)
This study investigates how a small fraction of exploratory agents can generate large-scale connectivity in structured multi-attractor environments through localized boundary-crossing dynamics.

Meccanismo Complesso was originally a collaborative project (2017–2019) dedicated to exploring computational models and complex systems.
The project has since evolved into an independent research initiative focused on the study of emergence, self-organization, agent-based systems, and network formation processes.
