| '''Adaptive behavior''' is the capacity of a system — biological, artificial, or social — to modify its actions in response to environmental feedback in ways that improve its performance or survival. It is the fundamental pattern of [[Problem Solving|problem solving]] across all scales: from bacterial chemotaxis to [[Reinforcement Learning|reinforcement learning]] algorithms to institutional reform. What distinguishes adaptive behavior from mere reactivity is the presence of a feedback loop in which the system's internal model or strategy is updated based on outcomes, not merely triggered by stimuli. In [[Systems Theory|systems theory]], adaptive behavior is the bridge between the mechanics of a system and its capacity to persist in changing environments.
