This paper instantiates an architecture for an artificial chemistry featuring continuous physics and discrete chemical reactions. A system of bonded complementary molecular strands replicates in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst causes the strands to disengage; each strand subsequently replicates its missing complement by bonding to free ato...

Context 1
... handoff state is used to coordinate strand splitting. For example, Figure 4 shows a reaction neighborhood that allows atom 'A' to unbond from the catalyst, atom 'B' having "acknowledged" the bond handoff by entering the handoff state after bonding to the catalyst. After splitting, the two strands begin to replicate their complements by bonding to free atoms of the appropriate types. ...
