Artificial Chemistries - A Review
No full textArtificial Chemistries - A Review
"What has been left open, however, by the theory of evolution are questions relating to
the origin of evolutionary units: How come the prerequisites into being, i.e. the entities
that are varied and selected? How did qualitatively new evolutionary mechanisms emerge,
such as sexual recombination, regulation of mutation rates, or the genetic code?
Abstract models that should be able to explain the origin of evolutionary systems
would allow to investigate the theoretical conditions for the origin and evolution of life.
This is one of the fundamental goals of the AL subfield of artificial chemistry (AC) re-
search. By abstracting from natural molecular processes, AC tries to investigate the
dynamics of these complex systems. AC deals with combinatorial elements which change
or maintain themselves and especially with systems that are able to construct new compo-
nents. AC thus deals with forms of organization, self-maintenance, self-construction and
with the conditions for those structures to arise.
