The previous entry on models of change reminded me of something. We devise models for what we want to explain. We want to explain what is not obvious. If we have models of change, it must be that change isn't obvious.

Yet change is just the flip side of stability - things change when they don't remain the same. (Mr de la Palisse would be proud.) Is it any more obvious why things remain the same ? To look for models of change, look for models of stability.
