Values converge and reach equilbrium in the same way that evolution converges and reaches equilbrium: Not at all.
Evolution constantly converges toward equilibrium. This is why when constructing evolutionary algorithms preventing premature convergence is such a big deal. In nature the main thing preventing convergence to a rather boring equilibrium is changing environmental conditions—followed by Fisherian runaway, of course.

Runaway forms of selection would seem to work against your point.
Agents selecting for novelty would tend to disturb any evolutionary equilibrium.
