Average degeneracy for type-1 (green line) and type-2 (blue line) lesioning in classical RBNs (a). Degeneracy, (grey area) is computed as the average MI between subsets of X and O under perturbation over increasing perturbed subset size k, in networks with b no lesions and with c 100%-cut condition. In panel a, on the x axis, the cut percentage represents the affected number of nodes (in total of 10 nodes) whose edges are lesioned given the networks. As cuts becomes larger, degeneracy increases. In panels b and c, degeneracy is calculated according to definition given in “Methods” Eq. 3
