👉 The term "contingential" is a technical term used in computer science and programming languages. It refers to an object that has some property or characteristic that changes over time, but does not have any fixed value at any given point in time. In other words, if you have a variable like "x", it can change its value from one instance of the program to another, as long as the original value is still valid. This is different from having an object that always has the same value
