Dissipative adaptation in driven self-assembly leading to self-dividing fibrils.

Paper summary

Studies chemically driven self-assembly leading to adaptive fibril behavior and division. Continued energy-consuming chemistry couples changes in assembled structure to how the system processes its drive.

Relevance to the project

A comparison for resource-coupled maintenance and propagation-like structure. Ask whether the pattern causally changes its own continued activity rather than merely splitting.

Aggregation and self-assemblyThermodynamicsOrigins of lifeSelf-maintenance

Self-dividing fibrils do not establish all properties of life.
