   Dynamic meaning what in this context?

That the output of reading a node can vary between reads.

Take the following example:

$ cat /stow/PKG-VER/,dependencies
some-package (>= 1.2.3)
other-package (> 4.5.6)
$ pkgadd --requested-version 1.2.3 some-package
$ cat /stow/PKG-VER/,dependencies
other-package (> 4.5.6)
$
