The second one is interesting to me because if you increase weight by caking it in mud, the mud will break/fall/rub off, and the rock will return to its previous weight. But if you break off a piece, it will generally not return to its previous weight. Maybe a version of this that returns to equilibrium from both directions is a car? If you break a reasonable number of pieces off or put wear on the tires or burn some gas or oil, it will return to its ‘equilibrium’ weight via maintenance?
