Two different dithiol building blocks interconvert through reversible covalent bonds to initially form a dynamic combinatorial library of macrocycles of various size. The self‐sorting process starts by the amplification of a single library member to form self‐replicating fibers. This step is followed by enrichment of the system in the remaining building block, which forms a large macrocyclic foldamer.

Abstract

Nature segregates fundamental tasks such as information storage/transmission and catalysis between two different compound classes (e.g. polynucleotides for replication and folded polyamides for catalysis). This division of labor is likely a product of evolution, raising the question of how simpler systems in which replicators and folded macromolecules co‐exist may emerge in the transition from chemistry to biology. In synthetic systems, achieving co‐existence of replicators and foldamers in a single molecular network remains an unsolved problem. Previous work on dynamic molecular networks has given rise to either self‐replicating fibers or well‐defined foldamer structures (or completely un‐sorted complex systems). We report a system in which two cross‐reactive dithiol (nucleobase‐ and peptide‐based) building blocks self‐sort into a replicator fiber and foldamer that both emerge spontaneously and co‐exist. The self‐sorting behavior remains prevalent across different building block ratios as two phases of emergence occur: replicator growth followed by foldamer formation. This is attributed to the autocatalytic formation of the replicator fiber, followed by enrichment of the system in the remaining building block, which is subsequently incorporated into a foldamer.

Firstly, let me say I know little about the law of thermo dynamics, but what I do know is that energy can't be just magic'd up from nowhere.

So how did the mines work? In order for a mine to replicate a new mine, it would if needed a replicator and a power-plant, and the newly replicated mine would need to be replicated with a powerplant too. So where were the mines getting all the energy from?

Its kind of suggested in the show that the minefield would persist indefinately? Or am I wrong on that? If that is the case, where would the mines under a sustaned attack be drawing all their energy from? Or would the field eventuallyl run out of juice.

If thats the case, why would the Dominion not just tractor a bunch of astoeriods through the wormhole until the field caved in?

Hi, would someone mind explaining these two concepts? The way the official guide shows them is not clear to me.

Why does option valuation relies on these two concepts?

"The two-period binomial option valuation model illustrates two important concepts, self-financing and dynamic replication.

• Self-financing implies that the replicating portfolio will not require any additional funds from the arbitrageur during the life of this dynamically rebalanced portfolio. If additional funds are needed, then they are financed externally.
• Dynamic replication means that the payoffs from the option can be exactly replicated through a planned trading strategy.

Option valuation relies on self-financing, dynamic replication"

Is there any way to obtain the Theme? I bought the game one day after release, not knowing about the Preorder Bonus And if not, does anyone have a code left they don't need?

Thanks in advance

Anyone know what it looks like. I can’t find it anywhere so maybe they haven’t released what it looks like yet, but I thought I’d be good to ask
