Yes, we'll add something like that soon. Maybe even next week. I think we actually want to have a system type that encapsulates the rate law vector combined with the...

Something like that is needed for many kinds of reaction network analysis.

I was thinking we should add a new system type that `ReactionSystem`s can be converted into, and which just stores a vector of the rate law expressions and the stoichiometry...

Adding a new importer that takes the reaction complex representation and builds a `ReactionSystem` would be useful and could be added to `ReactionNetworkImporters`.

We support both notations via the DSL. The issue is in symbolically building `Reaction`s -- they currently assume their inputs are unique, and I think they should stay that way...

@anandijain I'll try to review carefully tomorrow. A few high level comments for now: 1. I'd suggest something like `truncated_cme` as the name since this isn't actually providing a representation...

> This seems similar to what I've been trying to do in [FiniteStateProjection.jl](https://github.com/kaandocal/FiniteStateProjection.jl), namely converting a reaction network into a (truncated) version of the CME. I did not opt to...

Catalyst doesn't currently have functionality to solve for the equilibrium of the system as you'd want it, or anything built in to understand most thermodynamic rate quantities you might want...

I'm going to leave this open as a reminder that we could at least try to make something work for fully reversible systems.

Also, I'd be interested in seeing the form of the nonlinear system you want to solve. Just to make sure I understand the equations you are expecting.
