Chemical reactions can be thought of as computational processes where the input is the starting chemical, and the output is the desired end product. The goal is to piece together a sequence of name reactions to achieve the desired molecule just like in computer programming.

Multicomputation
Summary

Token event graphs are used to break down a state into tokens and understand the asynchronous chemical reactions in multicomputation. This theory requires the selection of a specific subtype of chemistry for practical application.
