Clock networks containing the same central architectures may vary drastically in their potential to oscillate, raising the question of what controls robustness, one of the essential functions of an oscillator. We computationally generate an atlas of oscillators and found that, while core topologies are critical for oscillations, local structures substantially modulate the degree of robustness. Strikingly, two local structures, incoherent and coherent inputs, can modify a core topology to promote and attenuate its robustness, additively. The findings underscore the importance of local modificat
