DescriptionPhenotypic networks in genotype space, after Fontana (2002).jpg
English: A map of phenotypes in genotype-space to illustrate ideas of adjacency and accessibility. The networks show the genotypes that map to 3 different phenotypes, P0, P1 and P2. Over time, a system may diffuse neutrally among different genotypes with the same phenotypes. Rarely a jump from one phenotype to another may occur. In the long-term, P0 is more findable than P1 and P2 because it has twice as many genotypes. In the short term, evolution depends on accessibility, e.g., starting with P0, P2 is twice as accessible as P1, even though P1 and P2 have the same number of genotypes.
