Dynamic System Property:
atisMorphostasisness
(Dynamic system properties are those properties that are part of the theory and describe
patterns in time as change occurs within a system or between a system and its negasystem.)
Morphostasis, MSS, =df system stability resulting from feedin and feedout.

S =df SBS(fI, fO)
Morphostasis is system stability with respect to feedin and feedout. Morphostasis is the
process of a system retaining a structure, organization, or form through interaction with the
negasystem.
Examples: To the extent that school systems attain stability of their organization, they
exhibit a morphostasis system. While schools exhibit attributes of a morphogenic system,
they also maintain stability during the process of complexity growth. Such schools
characterize morphostasis.
