Abstract:

We implemented a prototypal simulator for a formal model based on pattern matching and recombination, which is a variation of artificial chemistries. The model was designed to capture the properties of complex systems, including those that show self-organizing behavior. The simulator is implemented in Ruby, an object-oriented programming language. The development of the software showed that reducing the number of recombination possibilities by aggregating molecules of the same type contributes to a large performance improvement.
