Abstract

A general class of network models is described that can be used to present complex adaptive systems. These models have two purposes: On a practical level they are closely based on real biological phenomena, and are intended to model detailed aspects of them. On a more general level, however, they provide a framework to address broader questions concerning evolution, pattern recognition, and other properties of living systems. This paper concentrates on the more general level, illustrating the basic concepts with two examples, a model of the immune system and a model for the spontaneous emergence of autocatalytic sets in a chemically reactive polymer soup. 10 refs., 3 figs.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • As NG goes up, the probability of catalytic closure approaches 1 in an example of increasingly long peptides.

    “it has been demonstrated in an example of increasingly long peptides, that as NG goes up, the probability of catalytic closure will approach 1 [72].”

    From Systems protobiology: origin of life in lipid catalytic networks (2018) · cites this paper as [72]

    In “Autocatalytic sets of polymers” (page unavailable), the paper says it has demonstrated that autocatalytic sets can form on a virtual reaction graph, and that the model was conceived with polypeptides in mind. It does not report that increasing NG or peptide length makes the probability of catalytic closure approach 1. (LLM, conf=0.78)

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.
