multiple steady states
Multiple steady states refer to a situation in which a dynamic system, such as a chemical or biological system, can exist in multiple stable equilibrium states, each characterized by distinct values of its variables or parameters. In other words, the system can settle into different stable configurations depending on its initial conditions or external influences.
