I think Lou Harrison called it "free style". Check out
"Lou Harrison - Composing a World" by Leta E. Miller
and Fredric Lieberman. >>

Free style is plain just intonation without a fixed gamut of pitches,
adaptive tuning is a mixture of just and tempered, with most vertical
sonorities in JI (some schemes make augmented and diminished chords equal
tempered) and melodic intervals tempered from just to reduce drift.

Thanks. It just sounded like a similar
concept to me.
