I'm looking for papers on Autocatalytic Sets and other examples of
forming complex strings of constituents from a set of very primitive
strings.  Essentially what I'm trying to do is take a string of
elements, break it down into primitives, and then reassemble the
primitives until a stable state is reached.  I'm thinking of
introducing noise into the replication process, and would like the
strings to "evolve" somehow.

If anyone knows of any papers, or has any suggestions, I would be glad
to hear them.
