The assembly index of assembly theory quantifies the minimal number of composition steps required to construct an object from elementary components. The study proves that the decision version of the assembly index problem is NP-complete,…
Assembly theory (AT) quantifies selection using the assembly equation and identifies complex objects that occur in abundance based on two measurements, assembly index and copy number, where the assembly index is the minimum number of…
Assembly theory has received considerable attention in the recent past. Here we analyze the formal framework of this model and show that assembly pathways coincide with certain minimal hyperpaths in B-hypergraphs. This makes it possible to…
Assembly Theory, as developed by Cronin and co-workers, assigns to an object an assembly index: the minimal number of binary join operations required to build at least one copy of the object from a specified set of basic building blocks,…
Assembly Theory (AT) was developed to help distinguish living from non-living systems. The theory is simple as it posits that the amount of selection or Assembly is a function of the number of complex objects where their complexity can be…
