In biological systems, higher order hyperstructures occur both in an intuitive and a formal sense: monomers, polymers, membranes, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, etc. constitute an observable hierarchy, apparently generated by the underlying biomolecular process. However, in models and simulations of these systems, it has turned out to be quite difficult to produce higher order emergent structures from first principles. We investigate a (close to) minimal description of monomers that can entail polymer and micelle-like structures. We have picked a level of analysis and model at that level and investigate the entailed properties of object interactions at that level. Every scientific investigation establish such a working level. Our level is the level of monomers and water. Not lower (atoms, elementary particles, etc), and not higher (polymers, membranes, etc.). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0913.00025].
