In the lexicon of systems theory, few concepts capture the fragility of equilibrium like the hypothetical term Rebahin . While absent from formal dictionaries, the word can be deconstructed into two plausible roots: the Latin re- (back, again, against) and the Arabic bahin (to examine, to dissect). Thus, Rebahin (pronounced reh-bah-HEEN) is defined as the recursive process of re-examining a system by temporarily unbalancing it to discover a more stable configuration.
