The reversible Frank model is capable of amplifying the initial small statistical deviations from the idealized racemic composition. This temporary amplification can be interpreted as a chiral excursion in a dynamic phase space. It is well known that if the system is open to matter and energy exchange, a permanently chiral state can be reached asymptotically, while the final state is necessarily racemic if the system is closed. In this work, we combine phase space analysis, stability analysis and numerical simulations to study the initial chiral excursions and determine how they depend on whether the system is open, semi-open or closed.
