14 Chemical Organization Theory

15 Chemical Organization Organization := a set of molecules that is (algebraically) closed and self-maintaining There is no reaction producing any other molecules than the member of the set. Within the set, all molecules consumed by a reaction can be reproduced by a reaction. [Speroni di Fenizio/Dittrich (2005/7) inspired by Fontana, Buss, Rössler, Eigen, Kauffman, Maturana, Varela, Uribe] Frankfurt, FIAS Peter Dittrich - FSU & JCB Jena 15

16 Fixed Point and Organization Theorem Given a fixed point of the ODE describing the dynamics of a reaction system, then the set of molecules represented by that fixed point is an organization. [Dittrich/Speroni di Fenizio, (2005,2007)] Frankfurt, FIAS Peter Dittrich - FSU & JCB Jena 16

87 Q2 - Notes There are two levels of chemical evolution. Actual evolution (the actual vessel) Organizational evolution (upward, downward, sideward movements) These levels are different. If the organizations are complex, a downward movement (organizational level) can lead to a state with a higher diversity (actual evolution) Frankfurt, FIAS Peter Dittrich - FSU & JCB Jena 87
