The hypercycle model is a promising framework for emergent computations because of its powerful self-organizing behavior and flexible reacting schemes. In particular, emphasizing system code evolution based on hypercycles, it is important to develop and maintain various kinds of hypercycles. However, the theoretical studies have elucidated their powerful self-organizing ability don't allow more than two kinds of hypercycles to coexist, and so some missing links have remained unsolved still now concerning a problem how hypercycles conserve themselves from the others. This paper demonstrates a process whereby macro conservative hypercycles emerge through self-organizing compartmentation in a chemical evolution model named Atomoid The Atomoid is a simulation model, the reaction dynamics of which are analogous to those found in the physical world based on energy levels. In the Atomoid, self-reproducing hypercycles emerge under dissipative structures, and a potential field is provided for the purpose of compartmentation of them. Local interactions between genotypic atomic reactions and phenotypic potential field result in emergence of macro conservative systems. This paper discusses these dynamics through simulation results.
