time-independent
Not temporally varying
Time-independent describes something that doesn't change over time or isn't affected by when it's measured.
The term appears most often in physics and mathematics, where time-independent equations describe systems in steady states rather than evolving ones.
A time-independent variable remains constant regardless of when you observe it.
