It is harder than expected not to recycle from known instances. I had to totally avoid physics and markets to feel like finding not remembering examples.
There’s a lot of somewhat cyclic stochastic processes that I would call a stable equilibrium. My whiteboard tends to have about the same fraction of free space most of the time. Sketching something or deleting something is a fluctuation. Changing my usage habits could make a long term difference.
The density of social events in my calendar is surprisingly constant. Less is boring, more is exhausting. It regulates itself. Fluctuations include random clusters of important events or little spare time. To constantly change it I could become a recluse or more sociable.
The mass of the contents of most rooms is dominated by a few long lasting things and is mostly stable. Getting a cup of tea is a small disturbance. Buying new furniture will suddenly change the equilibrium.
One nice thing about this exercise is that it gets harder the more you’ve used the concept in specific contexts (like physics or economics). Well done.
