7 Semi-simple Circular Splicing Systems<br />

For fixed letters a, b ∈ V , we will consider the following four types <strong>of</strong> semi-simple<br />

circular splicing rules: (a, 1; b, 1), (1,a;1,b), (1,a; b, 1), (a, 1; 1,b).<br />

The action <strong>of</strong> the four rules on circular strings is depicted in Figures 7, 8, 9<br />

and 10.<br />

We will consider the semi-simple splicing rules as functions from V ◦ × V ◦ to<br />

◦<br />

V<br />

2 . Using the mirror image function we can express some relationships between<br />

the four types <strong>of</strong> rules seen as functions.
