Definitions for "Stable"
Durable; not subject to overthrow or change; firm; as, a stable foundation; a stable position.
Strictly speaking, a system is termed stable if no rearrangement of its parts can form a system of lower free energy. In practice, the term is used with an implicit proviso regarding the transformations to be considered. Hydrogen is not considered unstable merely because it is subject to nuclear fusion at extreme temperatures. A system is usually regarded as stable (more precisely, as kinetically stable) if its rate of transformation to a state of lower free energy is negligible (by some standard) under the ambient conditions. In nanomechanical systems, a structure can commonly be regarded as stable if it has an extremely low rate of transformations when subjected to its intended operating conditions.
Of an equilibrium, that the dynamic adjustment away from equilibrium converges to the equilibrium. Of an economic variable, not subject to large or erratic fluctuations.

The most common interface commitment level in OpenSolaris (see Interface Taxonomy). Incompatible change to a Stable interface can only happen in a Major release of the product. Note that this usage is not the same as the common community usage of referring to Stable branches of a development tree. The Solaris `attributes(5)` manual page has information on all interface stability levels.
Able to resist forces that can cause material deformation or structural collapse.

Having a basin of attraction that is non-zero in size; an attractor that can withstand some form of perturbation.
The condition of a parcel of land or flowline which experiences no appreciable soil erosion or sedimentation and is thus, under current management, adequately protected from erosive agents. The term is also used to describe a soil conservation or hydraulic structure which is functioning effectively and is not adversely affected by erosive agents.
Firmly established; not easily moved, shaken, or overthrown; fixed; as, a stable government.
Capable of lasting without change; permanent; not easily destroyed or decomposed.

Condition A character who was dying but who has stopped losing hit points and still has negative hit points is stable. The character is no longer dying, but is still unconscious. If the character has become stable because of aid from another character (such as a Heal check or magical healing), then the character no longer loses hit points. He has a 10% chance each hour of becoming conscious and disabled (even though his hit points are still negative). If the character became stable on his own and hasn't had help, he is still at risk of losing hit points. Each hour, he has a 10% chance of becoming conscious and disabled. Otherwise he loses 1 hit point.
So placed as to resist forces tending to cause motion; of such structure as to resist distortion or molecular or chemical disturbance; -- said of any body or substance.
