steady state
This term is primarily used in technical, scientific, and economic contexts to describe a system that has stabilized. It implies a dynamic equilibrium where, although internal activity continues, the overall properties of the system do not change. It is distinct from a static state, which implies a total lack of movement or change.
When used as an adjective, it typically precedes the noun it modifies (e.g., steady state analysis) and is often written without a hyphen in technical literature, though a hyphen is common in general English when functioning as a compound modifier.
