Full Title or Meme
A system can be considered stable when external changes can be accommodated without major disturbance to the status quo.
Context
- Control theory is the study of enabling stabile system, whether static or dynamic.
 - An identity ecosystem can be considered stable when the binding of an identifier to an object can be trusted over some extended period.
 
Static Stability
- A system can be considered stable when the mechanisms inside the system provide a restorative force against changes that does not cause wild variations in the state of the system.
 - A control system that is stable may have mild overcorrection, but when that is limited to one cycle, it is considered to be critically damped.
 - Such a system can be called Homeostatic.
 
Dynamic Stability
- When the system is not stable without external inputs, it is considered to be dynamically stable when such external inputs are available and operational.
