Schematics showing how two biochemical states of a nonlinear biochemical reaction system can be inheritable if the volume of the reaction system is increased, and then divided into two. Note that the abscissa is concentration, not number of molecules. In the figure, an increase in volume with a factor of 2, corresponding to a decrease of concentration to one half, will still maintain the system in its original attractors. Division does not change the concentration.
