The absolute form this quantity is defined as the fraction of a given genotype that survive times average fecundity.
In Stuart Koffman's NK model, this value is a scalar function of an input string on a phase space, and the coefficient s is equal to one minus this value. The covariance between this value and of a characteristic denoted z appears in Price's equation, and setting this value equal to z in that theorem recapitulates Fisher's fundamental theorem, which states that this quantity is directly proportional to variance. Sewall Wright visualized this quantity as a (*) landscape, and taking the optimal form of this quantity minus the average over the optimal gives the genetic load. The absolute form this quantity is defined as the fraction of a given genotype that survive times average fecundity. For 10 points, name this quantity central to evolutionary biology, the ability of a particular organism to survive and pass on its genes.
