ConclusionsConclusions
The ‘genetic description’ of proteins used was very unevolvable, i.e. brittle.
Stochastic simulation did not allow ‘futile cycles’ to be modeled efficiently. These are essential for information transmission.
We moved to a more abstract representation of chemical networks, inspired by work in Eindhoven.

ConclusionConclusion
Although there is now an easy way of programming serial programs in enzyme controlled systems….
Implementation in a physical system is not trivial!!
Parallel implementations are possible. But how could we get evolvable chemical
networks in the real world?

What is second-order selection?
Real chemicals embody variability rules as (modular) structures. Make a chemical description language capable of representing chemical equivalence classes abstractly, that allows adaptive variability.Evolve the system at the compartment level to maximize information transmission.

ConclusionsConclusions
The simulator used a simplified model of nucleic acid interactions to test hypotheses about how autocatalytic RNA could function in the absence of protein enzymes.
Further work will increase the range of secondary structures, e.g. hairpins.
