===== Dynamic/Static =====

Something that is **dynamic** can be described as possessing or displaying energy/force or motion. Something that is **static** shows no change. It is characterized by a lack of movement, animation, or progression.

(Static is a similar concept to [[stasis|stasis]], though stasis is a term specific to having //actual// motion.)
