Chemical reaction networks describe the interaction of different molecular species in a well-stirred reactor. For example, Ø ~(10)→ M and M + M ~(0.1)→ D describes an influx of monomers M and their dimerization to form D. Under many circumstances the system's behavior over time is best described stochastically by a Continuous-time Markov Chain (CTMC) X_t,t ≥ 0 over all possible molecular counts.
