Abstract
This note details an interaction pattern for the allocation of a scarce biological resource where and when it is needed. It is entirely based on a mass action stochastic dynamics. Domain-domain binding plays a crucial role in the design of the pattern which we therefore present using a rule-based approach where binding is an explicit primitive. We also a use a series of refinements, starting from a very simple interaction set, which we feel gives an interesting and intuitive rationale for the working of the final repair scheme.
