a circuit which has no stable condition, and which changes at a rate determined by circuit values
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            A circuit with two quasi-stable states; an oscillator.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            A circuit that has no stable state and thus oscillates at a frequency dependent on component values.
