How does the transient state relate to the topic of multiple

Is your assertion that multiple reflections occur only during the
transient period?

No, but during the transient period, they are visible and measurable.
Sans modulation and noise, they are invisible and unmeasurable during
steady-state. Some people say because they are invisible and unmeasurable
during steady-state, they cease to exist. But that's not me.

Would you assert that what happens during the transient period and what
happens during the steady state are even necessarily the same thing?
