Overview: In chemical computing, the result of a computation appears as an emergent global behavior based on local reaction rules. For programming chemical systems a theoretical method to cope with that emergent behavior is desired. This paper demonstrates how the chemical organization theory can help in designing and understanding chemical computing systems. After providing a recipe for mapping logic circuits to chemical reaction rules, reaction networks implementing various logic circuits: an XOR, a flip-flop, and a controllable oscillator are discussed. The theory decomposes reaction networks into a hierarchy of closed and self-maintaining sub-networks (called organizations) using stoichio-metric information only. The dynamical behavior of a reaction system is then explained as a movement between organizations.
