Recently a model formed by self-replicative units with catalytic capabilities evolving in an extended system has been presented. It has been shown that under particular conditions this model exhibits spatial compartimentation without any kind of membrane. In the framework of ALife, we suggest that this model can allow a global growth in the complexity of those models based on the hypothesis of the so-called RNA-world. However, this increase has got a limit defined by the impossibility of expressing the informational potentialities into functionM complexity when a unique type of entity is involved in the system.
