Conclusions

The evoself model

  • Explains the evolution of self-assembling amphiphilic systems.
  • Constructs a physically and thermodynamically sound model of an evolving and self-assembling system.
  • Extends spatial reaction-diffusion pattern formation to the rich phase-diagrams of self-assembly pattern formation.
  • Demonstrates the evolution of physical phase control.
  • Investigates the evolutionary potential of such systems.
  • Paves the way for system simulation of proto- and artificial cells.
