Self-organization in prebiological systems: Simulations of a model for the origin of genetic information

SummaryComputer simulations of a “spin glass” model for the origin of biological information are discussed. Selection is found to occur among a wide diversity of possible species, and in addition competition, adaptation, and hysteresis are all exhibited.
