Abstract
This paper describes a model of the artificial chemical world and its computer simulation, in which rhythms emerge. The model specifies four items of the artificial chemical world:(1) components (five kinds of particles and DNA having Genetic Switches);(2) space (2-dimensional polar grids);(3) simple reaction rules (construction and destruction of molecules, etc.);(4) simple behavioral rules (stochastic movements and stochastic collisions, etc.); The simulation demonstrates the capability of the system to exhibit emergent behavior: that is, global order of the system (regular rhythms in this case) emerges out of randomness (thorough stochastic movements and collisions) of its components.
