Because adaptability is based on similarity of the performance curves expx and exp0, which are directly comparable, it makes sense to define a euclidean distance measure for adaptability:

expx curve tracks exp0 curve as closely as possible if environmental conditions at t are worse in expx than exp0.
expx curve proportionally larger than exp0 curve if environmental conditions at t are better in expx than exp0.

This was already implemented as part of #81/the default adaptability curve similarity measure.
