So it could be RNA or DNA like we have in modern
biology or it could be some related kind of material; and we are also thinking
about some kind of cell envelope or cell membrane — not that that's necessarily the very first way Darwinian
systems began, but at some point they had to transition into a
system more related to modern
biology where cells are all bounded by membranes — so we're thinking
about how to assemble these two components and get them to interact with each other.
