Restricted pleiotropy and complexity. A) Matrix illustrating pleiotropic effect of mutating weights of connections and nodes on network phenotype. The pleiotropic effect of a mutation was measured through the mean and variance of its effects on networks phenotypes. An average pleiotropy was computed for each connection and node weights in the network (generating matrix A) and averaged over all weights to compute the network pleiotropy. B) Correlation between the estimates of PCPC of phenotypic complexity and network pleiotropy for all networks. In red, a power law fit to the data.
