Note
A plural that only makes sense once stability is counted rather than treated as a mass. The singular works both ways, and the plural appears when separate systems, materials or conditions each have a stability of their own, measured and set side by side. Both meanings of the singular can be counted this way: the state of being in equilibrium, and the tendency to recover after a disturbance.
