A layered network: four food molecules on the bottom row feed two reactions, whose products feed two more reactions above; solid arrows carry reactants and products, dashed arrows show each reaction catalysed by a molecule the network itself makes.

A reflexively autocatalytic set

Hordijk & Steel, 2004. Four reactions over the food set {0, 1, 00, 11}.

A set of reactions that is food-generated (every reactant can be built from the food set by the set’s own reactions) and reflexively autocatalytic (every reaction is catalysed by a molecule the set produces). Rings are food, discs are molecules, squares are reactions, solid arrows are reactants and products, dashed arrows are catalysis.
