  Intransitivity is supposed to be a main reason for deficits in coevolutionary
progress and inheritable superiority. Besides, coevolutionary dynamics is
characterized by interactions yielding subjective fitness, but aiming at
solutions that are superior with respect to an objective measurement. Such an
approximation of objective fitness may be, for instance, generalization
performance. In the paper a link between rating-- and ranking--based measures
of intransitivity and fitness landscapes that can address the dichotomy between
subjective and objective fitness is explored. The approach is illustrated by
numerical experiments involving a simple random game with continuously tunable
degree of randomness.
