Derived from inverted pendulum dynamics, mediolateral Margin of Stability () is a mechanically-grounded measure of instantaneous stability. However, average measures yield paradoxical results. Gait pathologies or perturbations often induce larger (supposedly “more stable”) average , despite clearly destabilizing factors. However, people do not walk “on average” – they walk (and sometimes lose balance) one step at a time. We assert the paradox arises because averaging discards step-to-step dynamics. We present a framework unifying the inverted pendulum with Goal-Equivalent Manifold (GEM) analyses. We identify in the pendulum’s center-of-mass dynamics constant- manifolds, including one candidate “stability GEM” signifying the goal to maintain some constant . We used this framework to assess step-to-step dynamics of humans walking in destabilizing environments. While goal-relevant deviations were readily corrected, humans did not exploit equifinality by allowing deviations to persist along this GEM. Thus, maintaining a constant is inconsistent with observed step-to-step fluctuations in center-of-mass states. Conversely, the extent to which participants regulated fluctuations in foot placements strongly predicted regulation of center-of-mass fluctuations. Thus, center-of-mass dynamics may arise indirectly as a consequence of regulating mediolateral foot placements. To resolve the paradox caused by averaging , we present a new statistic, Probability of Instability (), to predict instability likelihood. Participants exhibited increased when destabilized (p = 9.45×10−34), despite exhibiting larger (“more stable”) average (p = 1.70×10−15). Thus, correctly captured people’s increased risk of losing lateral balance, whereas average did not. also explains why peoples’ average increased in destabilizing contexts.
