Idea
Given the concept of the Metabolism First Hypothesis, how did early simple and essentially random reaction networks evolve into ones that exhibit characteristics of scale-free and small-world networks? What physically meaningful rules may we find that can lead to this?
Things to consider
- No predefined goal! Besides evolvability.
- How to define fitness? Or, how to define selection without a known fitness function?
- Yes, I though it might be interesting to run simulations without fitness and selection, just based on the rules of evolution and see what comes out -- Amelie
- How can we get increasing complexity of metabolites?
