Résumé

Selection among autocatalytic species fundamentally depends on their growth law: exponential species, whose number of copies grows exponentially, are mutually exclusive, while sub-exponential ones, whose number of copies grows polynomially, can coexist. Here we consider competitions between autocatalytic species with different growth laws and make the simple yet counterintuitive observation that sub-exponential species can exclude exponential ones while the reverse is, in principle, impossible. This observation has implications for scenarios pertaining to the emergence of natural selection.
