frivriesteady

Frivriesteady is a term used in speculative discussions and informal writings to denote a state of dynamic systems in which mechanisms restore a system to a baseline quickly after disturbances, without persistent drift. It is not a standard term in established scientific literature. Etymology: a portmanteau of "frivri" (a nonce syllable) and "steady." The concept is described as an informal measure of resilience or stability, combining elements of homeostasis and stability under random perturbations.

Definition: In informal usage, a system exhibits frivriesteady when its attractor remains near a baseline despite irregular perturbations; the system shows low long-term variance and rapid return to baseline.

Characteristics:

- Rapid recovery time (low tau)

- Low overshoot

- Maintained baseline in presence of noise

Applications: Used mainly in theoretical discussions of resilience, simulation studies, and online communities exploring stability in complex systems.

Examples: A weather simulation where after a storm the temperature returns to its seasonal baseline within two days; a network router that quickly recovers from packet loss.

Limitations: Not a rigorous term; lacks formal criteria; definitions vary by author.

History: The term first appeared in informal online discussions in the early 2020s; no peer-reviewed publication has formalized it.
