Genetic regulatory networks are defined by their topology and by a multitude of continuously adjustable parameters. Here we present a class of simple models within which the relative importance of topology vs. interaction strengths becomes a well-posed problem. We find that complexity - the ability of the network to adopt multiple stable states - is dominated by the adjustable parameters. We comment on the implications for real networks and their evolution.
