drift returns toward the window's centre on its own

Stable (adjective) means: drift returns toward the window's centre on its own. It emerges from drift, window, centre, return: The aimless drift is redirected by the window's boundary structure and actively returns toward its central location due to the stabilizing influence inherent in the system's configuration. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
