  Antifragility is a property that enhances the capability of a system in
response to external perturbations. Although the concept has been applied in
many areas, a practical measure of antifragility has not been developed yet.
Here we propose a simply calculable measure of antifragility, based on the
change of "satisfaction" before and after adding perturbations, and apply it to
random Boolean networks (RBNs). Using the measure, we found that ordered RBNs
are the most antifragile. Also, we demonstrated that seven biological systems
are antifragile. Our measure and results can be used in various applications of
Boolean networks (BNs) including creating antifragile engineering systems,
identifying the genetic mechanism of antifragile biological systems, and
developing new treatment strategies for various diseases.
