Abstract
We report modifications to the SCL model [2], an artificial chemistry in Swarm designed to support autopoietic agents. The aim of these modifications is to improve on the longevity of the agents and to implement growth. We demonstrate by means of two simulation runs that the improvements indeed have the desired effects.
