There hasn't been any activity in that thread for a couple of days, so his (my?) post may fly under the radar.

The thread actually ended three days before. Thus, we don't know if KF noticed that Noesis introduced a new term central to the science of ID: | Quote | 41

kairosfocus,
It is evidently very hard for you to admit that you do not know the phase space of self-replicating systems. You can define no probability measure, and therefore you can get nowhere with any permutation of FIASCO.
Mathematical analysis and simulations indicate that an autocatalytic set may be much simpler than the RNA-based system constructed by Lincoln and Joyce (2010).
A sensational result of the study by Lincoln and Joyce was that recombinant replicators emerged spontaneously, and came to dominate the population. That is, there was a qualitative change in the system that no one would have predicted. The process of reproduction became more complex, in the plain-language sense of the term. I defy you to show how recombination was front-loaded into the study.
