On the Origin of DNA Genomes: Evolution of the Division of Labor between Template and Catalyst in Model Replicator Systems
Figure 5
The evolutionary dynamics of the surface model without explicitly predefined parasites.
The surface model was initialized with a population of Rp (no parasites were introduced in the system). The simulation was run in the same manner as in Figure 2 with the mutation converting molecules into parasites disabled (). The format of the figure is the same as that of Figure 2. For the explanation of each panel, see the main text. The parameters were as follows:
; the size of CA is 512×512 squares; the other parameters were the same as in Figure 2.
