Bitstring immune system model (idiotypic network) — An immune system as a reaction network, and one of the few chemistries that fixes its own rate constants. Antibodies are bitstrings with two sites; when one antibody's paratope matches another's epitope, the recogniser i…

Bitstring immune system model (idiotypic network)

One of the artificial chemistries of Banzhaf & Yamamoto, Artificial Chemistries (MIT Press, 2015), §11.2.2; first proposed by Farmer, Packard & Perelson, 1986.

Its generator ships with the chemart library, so loading it runs no code from the hub and needs no trust_remote_code.

import chemart

net = chemart.generate_network("chemart/farmer-immune", seed=0)   # same as "farmer-immune"
print(net.summary())
