## 4.2.1 Larger Networks 

<img src='content_image/313295.jpg'>

To ensure that the results presented above were not an artifact of the small size of the networks ( N$_{T}$ = 20) specific experiments were performed to compare cases 3 and 4 with large networks of N$_{T}$ = 400. For case 3, N = M = 20 and L = 1. For case 4, M = 1, N = N$_{T}$ = 400, K = K$_{T}$ , and L = 0. For each MRBN family, only one hundred networks were generated and only one hundred state pairs were explored for ten thousand steps. These experiments are less statistically significant, but they clearly show that the difference in sensitivity to initial conditions is due to modularity and not to network size. Results can be observed in Figure 13. It can be seen that the advantage of modularity is increased for larger networks.
