adaptive walk

A term used to describe a trajectory of changes undergone by a system to better operate in a given environment. In the context of a fitness landscape, each change can be seen as a step that either improves the performance of the system (higher elevation within landscape) or degrades the performance of the system (lower elevation within the landscape). See also fitness landscape.
