Science People! Is there a technical term for a system in which two things evolve in response to each other? As in a predator and its prey evolving specialized responses to each other. My instinct is to call it 'evolution-through-opposition' but is there a specific name for it?
The thing I want to bring out here is how both 1) the system doesn't stagnate but 2) it produces very contingent results, because both sides aren't aiming for objectively optimal outcomes, but rather coming to new responses in a very particular environment of competition.
Mostly I want to avoid just calling it an 'arms race' - I want to reach past that metaphor.
Not a scientist but I think it's coevolutionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coevolution#Predators_and_prey …
Yep, that’s it.
Eigenvector? (Probably not.)
What comes to mind is a Dynamic Equilibrium of some sort. It's the kind of thing that crops up with Differential Equations. The specific Predator-Prey scenario you mention is described by Lotka-Volterra Diff. equations, for instance.
A few other things that come to mind are Metastable Equilibriums (see Metastability in wikipedia), where a system self-corrects until it is pushed beyond a limit, and maybe Markov Chains, which can be used to simulate some of this, but it's not exactly what you want, I think.
The Red Queen's Race describes a situation where rival species are co-evolving their competitive responses to each other.
I'm not sure if that's the technical term, but it's the one I've heard most often. (Or variations on it, e.g. "Red Queen effect".)
