Welcome to the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE).
CASSE is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to advocating a sustainable economy with stabilized population and consumption.  This economy is called a "steady state economy."

  Steady state theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cosmology, the steady state theory (also known as the "Infinite Universe Theory") is a model developed in 1948 by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi and others as a non-standard cosmology to the Big Bang theory (known, usually, as the standard cosmological model).
The steady state theory was developed as a result of theoretical calculations that showed that a static universe was impossible under general relativity and observations by Edwin Hubble that the universe was expanding.
Within the steady state theory this background radiation is the result of light from ancient stars which has been scattered by galactic dust.

Problems with the steady-state theory began to emerge in the late 1960s, when observations apparently supported the idea that the universe was in fact changing: quasars and radio galaxies were found only at large distances (i.e., redshift, and thus, because of the finiteness of the speed of light, in the past) not in closer galaxies.

 Puerto Rico: Divergence not Convergence - en   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The neoclassical theory of economic growth predicts that the rate at which an economy grows during its transition to the steady state is proportional to its distance from that steady state -- the further the distance, the faster the growth, and vice versa.
During the transition towards this steady state, other things being equal, the rate of return in the economy and hence the rate of capital accumulation is inversely related to the initial per capita stock of capital.
In addition, for a given speed of convergence, increases in the steady state level of per capita income at which an economy is converging will raise the per capita income growth rate during the transition, since the economy will have to cover a longer distance in the same time.

 Steady State Error
At its design steady state operating point, the system runs with a steady level, steady input and output flows, and a steady position on the inlet (control) valve.
At this design steady state operating point, all the steady operating values (H, Q, y (inlet valve position)) are taken as reference values.
If the tank level were to rise exactly to the new level commanded, E would again be 0 and the control valve would return to its steady state operating point.

Recognition of steady state in an orogen commonly requires being able to demonstrate persistence of key attributes, such as thermal state or topographic characteristics.
Because the time to achieve steady state can vary (longer to achieve a thermal steady state than a topographic one), attributes assignable to different types of steady state may not be present concurrently in any range.
In such situations, the approach to steady state may be assessed using the persistence of geomorphic attributes along a range.
