Conditions for evolvability of autocatalytic sets: a formal example and analysis
1SmartAnalytiX.com, Lausanne, Switzerland, wim@WorldWideWanderings.net.
Abstract:
We provide a formal but visually clear example of how a set of minimal necessary conditions for evolvability of autocatalytic sets is satisfied in a simple model of chemical reaction systems. Furthermore, we show how these conditions can be captured and analyzed with RAF theory, and how the results can be generalized with a somewhat more elaborate example. Finally, we argue that our results clearly support the hypothesis that autocatalytic sets can be evolvable, and that this might even be an expected property of such sets.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
