What it teaches
This quick glossary routes visitors from practical terms to the deeper Model Breeding Glossary.
| Term | What it means | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Champion | Current best artifact for a niche. | Gives the ecology a stable comparison point. |
| Specialist | Narrow model that performs one useful task well. | Reduces waste and latency. |
| Challenger | Candidate collecting evidence. | Keeps improvement active without disrupting the champion. |
| Adapter | Compact trainable skill overlay. | Makes capability portable and frugal. |
| Fitness vector | Multi-dimensional evidence object. | Keeps tradeoffs visible. |
| Lineage DAG | Parent-child graph of artifacts. | Makes capability reusable. |
| Evidence packet | Reviewable proof bundle. | Makes release decisions explainable. |
| No-op | Decision to keep the current state. | Preserves quality when change does not add value. |
