✦ Synopsis

Useful or meaningful information for the transition between disordered and ordered states occurring in a chemical system, which organizes itself out of molecular chaos, is stochastically discussed from the viewpoint of dynamical system theory. To make the discussion perspicuous it is helpful to assume that the time evolution of the chemical system proceeds by a univariate, bistable one-step process of birth-anddeath type. The model for the evolution of primordial metabolism proposed by Dyson is a bistable system, and hence this model answers the purpose of illustrating the usefulness of information.
