"A system is called "time invariant" if for any input signal x[n] and for any $ t_0 \epsilon \mathbb{R} $, the response to the shifted input is the shifted output." -Mimi Boutin

A system is "time invariant" if when you time shift the input, the only thing that changes in the output is the same time shift.
