Re: Artem Kaznatcheev • Labyrinth : Fitness Landscapes As Mazes, Not Mountains
A species in progress, with its naturally evolved organs of sensitivity, effectivity, and discernment, in its trials to learn the properties of its environment, cannot be expected to know in advance the full dimensionality of the space it inhabits on a mundane basis and through which it charts its eventual evolution.
An adaptive mutation in one of those capacities will expand its grasp of its environment into a larger space of states.
