Can I set my own bindings?

Richard Henry wrote: "Creep", as the term is used in mechanical and civil engineering studies of materials, is an _inelastic_ deformation of a material caused by a stress applied beyond the elastic yield strength of the material. The deformation is permanent (in the sense that it can't "rebound" to its previous state) and accumulates over time if the stress is continually applied. No energy is being stored - the energy is consumed as work in altering the shape and/or internal structure of the material involved. I always thought "creep" was when a project increased in scope as the life of the project went forward. That is, after the contract has been let, the contractor (or architect, or owner) finds more related to the project that "must" be done. This is properly termed "mission creep" and is distinguished from Richard's mechanical creep by the scale. Mechanical creep is typically a percent or so while mission creep is usually 50% or more.
