On the Origin of DNA Genomes: Evolution of the Division of Labor between Template and Catalyst in Model Replicator Systems
Figure 3
Spatial pattern generated by the transcription system in the absence of the self-replication system.
The surface model was initialized such that the system consisted of the transcription system (see below for the parameter values). No mutation processes were enabled except for the mutation converting molecules into parasite (). The color coding is indicated in the figure. The parameters were as follows:
and
for both Rp and Dp;
;
; the size of CA was 512×512 squares; the other parameters were the same as in Figure 2.
