Actually, you can look at the rate of change. As the surface is tilted, the
robot would start to fall as it tries to maintain a distance. Then, the
rate of change will increase, so it will compensate by moving the other
direction (return to vertical) until the rate of change and motor output are
both zero.
LegWay continually recalculates the 'balance point'.
