What is fitness landscape neutrality?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
Neutrality occurs when many different genotypes have the same fitness value.
Deep explanation
Neutral networks allow populations to drift across flat fitness regions without fitness improvement. This can help escape local optima but may also slow convergence.
