Before revision:  In the CDI model, the state of the system is more easily altered by direct control protocols that introduce a foreign population composed of many species (e.g. a steady state composition of the system) rather than protocols that are made up of a single microbial species. Then, to better understand how to navigate the dynamical landscape of a gLV system, the geometry of the basins of attraction of point attractors is compressed into an  attractor network , which decomposes a multistable high-dimensional landscape into web of bistable subsystems.
