Autocatalytic sets and chemical organizations: modeling self-sustaining reaction networks at the origin of life

Two related but somewhat different approaches have been proposed to formalize the notion of a self-sustaining chemical reaction network. One is the notion of collectively autocatalytic sets, formalized as RAF theory, and the other is chemical organization theory. Both formalisms have been argued to...
