Weak-Correlation Universality and Macroscopic Fluctuations in Power-Law Recurrent Networks

Author(s): Farzada Farkhooi Balanced network theory describes the dynamic state of randomly connected systems with intrinsic negative feedback, predicting the suppression of correlations as connectivity increases. We show that this weak-correlation universality holds broadly but breaks down in power-law networks where the larg… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 107403] Published Thu Sep 04, 2025
