Evolution and Fine-Grained Environmental Runs

The world in which we live is highly heterogeneous in both space and time. Organisms must live and reproduce in the face of possible changes in both their physical environment (e. g., weather) and their biotic environment (e. g., interactions with other organisms). Much of this immense array of environmental diversity is not controllable or even predictable by the individual organism. In such cases the exact array of possible environmental states an organism experiences throughout its lifetime must be treated as a random variable.
