The way I understood it, is that invariant representations are representations
of invariants (that is, concepts that appear to be invariant), not so much representations
that are invariant. At the other hand invariant represesentations don't change much after they get formed. New ones appear and may put the old ones in disuse. The old ones are still there, however. Possibly for ever. Possbily until they are relevant again. Change (growth) is achieved by forming new invariant representations and
use them.
