As Wolfram's Principle of Complexity evolves, it will probably cover all this field of genetics quite well and simply.

I think the second paragraph pretty much sums up the general idea.

From the actual PNAS article:

...selection for developmental stability, independent of selection for particular phenotypes, is sufficient to evolve insensitivity to mutation.

I was thinking "New Kind of Science" while reading this. I think they are saying that a wide variety of programs yield similar results, something that appears to mirror Wolfram's findings. In other words, the robustness of genes in not producing lots of freaks is not a product of evolution, but a product of how the interpretation of genes works.

"In the real world, reducible complexity is far more useful, stable and important than irreducible complexity."
