We assume that chemicals catalyze their reproduction through interaction with each other, and that between some chemicals repulsion occurs. We have shown that chemicals organize themselves into a cell-like structure that maintains its membranes dynamically. Further, we have obtained cells that can divide themselves automatically into daughter cells.8 pages, 15 eps figures, To appear in Proc. of ECAL 99, reviced contentAdaptation and Self-Organizing SystemsQuantitative Biologytext
