    Development of a cellular emergence model: A model revealing the process by which matters become life

    [Research summary] 1. Can we create life (cells) by combining simple chemical reactions? We are exploring a fundamental question in science. 2. Utilizing Ishida’s cellular automaton model [3], which generates various biological movements, and replacing the transition rules with 15 types of molecular reactions and 2 types of polymerized molecules, a phenomenon emerged where a…
