Minimality in Reflexive and Stoichiometric Autocatalysis
Richard Golnik, Thomas Gatter, Wim Hordijk +2
Autocatalysis, the ability of a chemical subsystem to sustain its own constituents when supplied with sufficient food molecules, has been closely related to the origin of life on E…
Bridging two theoretical frameworks of autocatalysis: RAF sets and stoichiometric autocatalysis
Richard Golnik, Thomas Gatter, Wim Hordijk +2
Autocatalysis lies at the heart of many (bio)chemical processes and is key to processes leading up to the origin of life. Two seemingly very different formalisms have emerged that…
A Concise and Formal Definition of RAF Sets and the RAF Algorithm
Wim Hordijk
Autocatalytic sets are self-catalyzing and self-sustaining chemical reaction networks that are believed to have played an important role in the origin of life. They have been studi…
Emergence of Autocatalytic Sets in a Simple Model of Technological Evolution
Wim Hordijk, Stuart Kauffman
Two alternative views of an economy are combined and studied. The first view is that of technological evolution as a process of combinatorial innovation. Recently a simple mathemat…
Snooker Statistics and Zipf's Law
Wim Hordijk
Zipf's law is well known in linguistics: the frequency of a word is inversely proportional to its rank. This is a special case of a more general power law, a common phenomenon in m…
Dynamics of a birth-death process based on combinatorial innovation
Mike Steel, Wim Hordijk, Stuart A. Kauffman
A feature of human creativity is the ability to take a subset of existing items (e.g. objects, ideas, or techniques) and combine them in various ways to give rise to new items, whi…
