From: Cellular automata simulation of topological effects on the dynamics of feed-forward motifs
Topological feed-forward transformations (1, 2, and 3) always accelerate processes described as a linear chain of events. Different mechanisms of ring closure are shown, the fastest topology being the one with a direct Source → Target feed-forward link. The linear and nonlinear irreversible and reversible ODE times are denoted by LDE, NDE and NDE', respectively.
