Resumo
Molecular replicators were introduced as a possible theory to explain the origin of life. Since their proposal they have been extensively studied from a bio-chemical perspective. This work proposes a taxonomy for the main properties of replicators that are important for building computational tools to solve complex problems as well as introduces a computer algorithm that models these entities. The simulation of this algorithm allows the observation and analysis of the behavior of replicators in light of the properties introduced. A number of experiments are performed to show that the proposed taxonomy of properties can be observed by simulating the algorithm introduced. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2011.
