In the physical sciences, relaxation usually means the return of a perturbed system into equilibrium.
Since the underlying microscopic processes are active even in the absence of external perturbations, one can also study "relaxation "in" equilibrium" instead of the usual "relaxation "into" equilibrium" (see fluctuation-dissipation theorem).
If "E" changes, "P(t)" reacts: the polarization "relaxes" towards a new equilibrium.
As an approach to studying economic activity, economic reproduction contrasts with equilibrium economics, because economic reproduction is concerned not with statics or with how economic development gravitates towards an equilibrium, but rather with "dynamics"—that is, the motion of an economy.
