Equilibrium: In physics, equilibrium is a state in which the forces acting on an object or system are balanced. This means that the net force is zero, and the object or system is not accelerating. The concept helps to understand how objects and systems behave. It is also used in engineering, chemistry, and economics._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Vilfredo Pareto on Equilibrium - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 99 Equilibrium/Pareto: The state of equilibrium is to be understood as a variable and fluid state variable. At the same time, it is precarious and preserves our existence: disruptions that occur in reality as crises or unintended effects do not lead to system disintegration and chaos; instead, they always bring about a new balance that in turn leads to dysfunctions. Pareto's theory is thus multidimensional and multicausal from the outset. >Society. Maurizio Bach, Vilfredo Pareto, Allgemeine Soziologie (1916) in: Manfred Brocker (Hg).
