    You have a ball on a trampoline. Wind might knock the ball around, but its very likely to return to the center of the trampoline. This is a psuedo stable arrangment.

    No, it’s a local minimum, not pseudo stable. It’s just not the absolute minimum

      The ball can quantum mechanically tunnel out to the true minimum. In this sense the local minimum is actually not perfectly stable.
