Abstract: | Bistable, autonomously growing and self‐maintaining dynamical systems possess a new mathematical and applicational aspect: they can switch toward (physical) existence. Larger dynamical systems containing such flip‐flops as subsystems are frequent. The mathematical prototype is a special type of Z2‐networks, termed a competence automaton. A chemical implementation is the ‘magic soup.’ It constitutes a general model for life‐type evolution processes including economic evolution. |
