Mutabilisból

Mutabilisból is a neologistic term used in Hungarian-language discourse to denote origin from mutability or changeability. Etymology: it combines mutabilis, the Latin word for changeable, with -ból, the Hungarian ablative form meaning "from." Definition: In philosophy of science and systems theory, mutabilisból refers to the principle that the defining characteristics of a system arise from its capacity to change, rather than from fixed properties. The term is commonly used to contrast essentialist explanations with process-oriented accounts that emphasize dynamics and transformation.

Origins and usage: The coinage appears in late 20th or early 21st-century Hungarian writings on dynamic systems, emergence, and process thought. It remains a niche concept, not widely adopted in mainstream journals. In practice, mutabilisból functions as a metaphor for contexts in which adaptability and potential for change shape outcomes, such as in biological adaptation, software systems, or social dynamics.

In literature and speculative fiction, mutabilisból may appear as a conceptual principle describing artifacts, societies, or languages whose identity is defined by their mutable properties rather than fixed essence.
