Sequence selection and evolution in a binary polymer model
The emergence of autocatalytic structures in model chemistries has been a prominent subject throughout the history of artificial life research (Rasmussen (1985); Farmer et al. (1986); Kauffman (1986); Rasmussen (1989); Hordijk et al. (2011) and others). Most of these works have been concerned with the likelihood of finding autocatalytic sets in a population of random cross-catalytic molecules. ...
متن کاملSequence selection by dynamical symmetry breaking in an autocatalytic binary polymer model.
Template-directed replication of nucleic acids is at the essence of all living beings and a major milestone for any origin of life scenario. We present an idealized model of prebiotic sequence replication, where binary polymers act as templates for their autocatalytic replication, thereby serving as each others reactants and products in an intertwined molecular ecology. Our model demonstrates h...
متن کاملAutocatalytic sets and biological specificity.
A universal feature of the biochemistry of any living system is that all the molecules and catalysts that are required for reactions of the system can be built up from an available food source by repeated application of reactions from within that system. RAF (reflexively autocatalytic and food-generated) theory provides a formal way to study such processes. Beginning with Kauffman's notion of "...
متن کاملSeismic Data Forecasting: A Sequence Prediction or a Sequence Recognition Task
In this paper, we have tried to predict earthquake events in a cluster of seismic data on pacific ring of fire, using multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). The model is employed as either a predictor for a sequence prediction task, or a binary classifier for a sequence recognition problem, which could alternatively help to predict an event. Here, we explain that sequence prediction/r...
متن کاملA formal model of autocatalytic sets emerging in an RNA replicator system
Background: The idea that autocatalytic sets played an important role in the origin of life is not new. However, the likelihood of autocatalytic sets emerging spontaneously has long been debated. Recently, progress has been made along two different lines. Experimental results have shown that autocatalytic sets can indeed emerge in real chemical systems, and theoretical work has shown that the e...
