....Chemistries AC as a Sub System of an Ecological Model In an ecological model an artificial chemistry can provide a fundamental currency if mass conservation and energy conservation is respected. In such ecological models organisms may absorb chemicals from their environment and metabolize them [44, 43]. The organisms may even consist of chemicals which are released after death [26] An example for this approach is the metabolically based artificial ecosystem model EVOLVE IV [26, 27] which is an advancement of a series of evolutionary ecosystem computer models originated in 1969 [33, 108] The ....
