As the number of inputs grows the circuit complexity can explode combinatorially, increasing burden by stacking multiple layers and adding intermediate nodes, which increases metabolic load, failure points, and sensitivity to part-to-part variability Also, adapting to new targets or shifting biological context often means redesigning the circuit architecture, not just re-tuning parameters.Hugoen
