A pure parasite that appears after the formation of the spirals is ousted to the outer edges of the spiral, where it decays.

The spatial version of the hypercycle alleviates the problem of the stability of large systems consisting of more than four members, thus solving one of the problems of the non-spatial version.

Parasites can kill a spiral if they are introduced exactly to the middle of the spiral; then neighbouring spirals take over the space and the parasite is destroyed or lingers in a kind of cyst.

Evolutionarily the spatial hypercycle is as limited as the non-spatial one: once established, no novel, disjunct hypercycle can invade the system.

“Incomplete mixing, limited diffusion, and surface attachment have been shown to promote template-directed synthesis [51,52] and to limit the deleterious effects of ‘‘parasites’’ (non-functional polymers) on selection of functional sequences [31,35,53].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
