The property of a system or object that maintains stability or equilibrium by itself without external intervention.
From auto- (self) + stability (from Latin stabilis, meaning firm). Technical term from physics and engineering describing self-regulating systems.
A tightrope walker uses balance, but a gyroscope has autostability—it naturally wants to stay upright and spinning. That's why spacecraft use spinning wheels to stay oriented without fuel.
