Modelling Biological Systems with Competitive Coherence

Figure 7

Competition between Now and Next Processes. The diagram shows the operation of filling the third position in the new line of the Activity Register (corresponding to the developing state of the system). The elements in the current line of the Activity Register are labelled with an asterisk and only their Next fields are shown. The two elements loaded into the new line at the start of the competition for third position have their Now fields in bold; their Next fields are not shown. The Now and Next scores are in the second column of HighestNow and HighestNext, respectively. See text for full explanation.
