| 1. A method for adapting the operation of application, comprising the steps of:
receiving at a client machine by the application a variation of a whole version of data following a request by the application
for the whole version of the data;
running at the client machine the application using the variation of the data received by the application;
updating, using a computer processor at the client machine the data requested by the application, wherein the step of running
the application using a variation of the requested data and the step of updating the data requested by the application occur
without modification to the source code of the application or the whole version of the data;
wherein the variation of the data is a version of the data that has a lower fidelity level as compared to the whole version
of the data; and
wherein a user at the client machine can access the variation of the whole version of data during the period that the variation
of the whole version of the data is being updated.
