A dynamic equilibrium state maintained not by the absence of destabilizing forces, but by the precise mutual cancellation of competing instabilities. Stability as a property of balanced tensions—remove any one destabilizing force and the system collapses in the opposite direction.
Stability(S) = ∑Instability(i) = 0, where each Instability(i) ≠ 0
