drift returns toward the window's centre on its own

stable.condition · forms: stability, stable, stably

Examples

Emergence

from: drift window centre return toward
through: The aimless drift is redirected by the window's boundary structure and actively returns toward its central location due to the stabilizing influence inherent in the system's configuration.
