Primes¶
- Adaptation
- Mismatch on this dimension is a primary failure mode, formalized in Holland's (1975) Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems analysis of search-rate calibration: rapid environmental change outpacing adaptive capacity leads to maladaptation; slow change driving rapid adaptation leads to costly thrashing on noise. Fit criterion. A criterion of fit or performance — survival, reproduction, accuracy, reward, achievement — determines which modifications are retained.
This sourceStandard behavioral-ecology textbook; treats adaptation as optimization against operative currencies (energy, mating success) that animals need not consciously represent.
