Ok, I think I need to clear a few things up here. Although my terms may sound
strange and unfamiliar they aren't really all that hostile. The term which there
has been most confusion seems to be "stability". The term is really a shortening
for *meta-stability* and complex systems scientists and others refer to this
phenomenon all the time. I've described it in my introduction article to systems
theory and complexity, Back to Basics.
