Stability of Metabolic and Balanced Organisations

We investigate the possible organisations emerging from an artificial chemistry (AC) of colliding molecules in a well stirred reactor. The molecules are generated from 7 basic components (atoms), each with a different behavior. After discovering two main types of organisations (metabolic o. and balanced o.), we deepen our analysis by studying their behavior over time. The phases they pass through and their stability with respect to an external influx of random information are examined. We notice that no organisation seems to be totally stable over time, yet metabolic organisations pass through a growth phase with a much higher stability. Lastly we observe how the different phases are triggered by the presence or absence of particular atoms.
