Other detection algorithms are not adaptive. Non-adaptive detectors are sometimes referred to as clairvoyant detectors .

“Genius detects through the fly, through the caterpillar, through the grub, through the egg, the constant individual; through countless individuals the fixed species; through many species the genus; through all genera the steadfast type; through all the kingdoms of organized life the eternal unity.
