Position in the system
The Constant Lactonase Production-system is directly linked to the Filter.

When the filter indicates that the input is zero (there is no light), the system will (ideally) produce no lactonase. As soon as the output of the filter is one, the system starts producing lactonase and remains doing this untill the light goes off again.

The model: Simulation: The number lactonase genes is held constant during the entire simulation. For the first 15.000 seconds the number of mRNA Ribokey is equal to 0.015 and the number of pT7 molecules to 0.4, then for 15000 s these numbers are set on 6 and 3 respectively (based on the results of the model of the filter) after which they are reduced back to 0.015 and 0.4. We see that an increase in the number of mRNA Ribokey and pT7(due to an increase in light intensity) will lead to a much higher number of lactonase molecules.
