I think you mean resilient when you say stable: A stable system NEED not get back to resting state by itself. A resilient one does. Along these terms, I think equilibrium doesn't really make sense - it means stability in many definitions. From the top google result: > Equilibrium is defined as a state of balance or a stable situation where opposing forces cancel each other out and where no changes are occurring. An example of equilibrium is in economics when supply and demand are equal. An example of equilibrium is when you are calm and steady.
