Abstract
Open-ended novelty is one of the goals of ALife. This provides challenges for analysis as the system evolves. We provide definitions for several emergent properties, such as parasitism and hypercycles, observed to emerge in an RNA world configuration of the Stringmol automata chemistry, and show how these can simultaneously be mathematically simple, capture the complexity of the processes, and be readily implementable.
