Unstable balance vs. not

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	REFERENCE	`https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_theory`
	CROSSREFS	`Adjacent-numbered pages: BP546 BP547 BP548 BP549 BP550 * BP552 BP553 BP554 BP555 BP556`
	EXAMPLE	`The classic example is a pendulum with a solid rod (instead of a string) which has a stable balance point at the bottom of its swing, where if you move the pendulum slightly it will swing back towards that balanced state. However, theoretically the pendulum can also be balanced pointing directly up. In this case, if you move the pendulum slightly it will swing down away from that upwards balanced state.`
