The behavior of hypercycle spirals in a two-dimensional cellular automaton model is analyzed. Each spiral can be … experiments show that adjacent species violation is necessary to create new spirals. A hypercycle system can live for a long time …

We show that the existence of a master template with a higher non-catalyzed self … the hypercycle becomes more stable than the chains only for K of order of a2. Furthermore, we show that the minimal … replication accuracy per template needed to maintain the hypercycle, the so-called error threshold, vanishes like sqrt(n/K) for …
