Abstract
We consider an artificial reaction system whose components are binary strin gs. Upon encounter, two binary strings produce a third string which compete s for storage space with the originators. String types or species can only survive when produced in sufficient numbers. Spatial interactions through i ntroduction of a topology and rules for distance-dependent reactions are di scussed. We observe various kinds of survival strategies of binary strings. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
