  1. The rule modifications considered for a node x. Initial dots are placeholders for the original rule for the node, which could be, e.g., f x  = y. p indicates an arbitrary node that is present (ON) in the current state of the network, a indicates an arbitrary node that is absent (OFF) in the current state of the network. Subscripts indicate whether the node in question is a new regulator for this node (i.e., did not exist in the original update rule) or existed as an original regulator. The top two rules in either column are the simplest, but place the greatest regulatory weight on the new interaction.
