equilibrating
Reaching a steady-state
Equilibrating is the process of bringing into balance or establishing equilibrium.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—chemistry, physics, economics—where systems move toward stable states: The solution was equilibrating to room temperature.
In physiology, equilibrating describes how the body adjusts to maintain homeostasis: Your ears are equilibrating to the pressure change.
