Abstract

Autogenesis is an abstract theory of living systems and their evolution, recently developed by the authors. It is proposed that replication—an imperfect copying of a functional information, directed by the same information—characterizes the living organization. Autogenesis is the evolution of replicative systems, where replicative information develops, compartments are formed, and eventually an end state is reached. In this paper we introduce a computer model, the aim of which is to show the predicted phases and phenomena of autogenesis in a nontrivial way, and to make the main concepts of the theory more transparent.
