Can we use "dynamism" as a noun for describing the amount of change and changeability?

Can we use "dynamism" as a noun for describing the amount of change and
changeability?

According to dictionaries, one of the meanings of the word dynamic is:
a system with continuous change
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dynamic
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dynamic
However, it's used as adjective. I'm writing a text in which I need to
refer to continuous change and changeability and I thought of the word
dynamism. In other words, I need the noun form of the dynamic. However,
seems that dynamism is not used as that meaning.
For example, instead of the level of changeability and the amount of
change in a system, I'd like to write system's dynamism level.
Can I use dynamism in that meaning? If not, what word should I use?
