There is not such great difference. "State" is to be taken here as a synonym of "country".

I don't think so. The empire was largely built around one man, Timur the Lame. To see a continuation of it would require someone of his ability to keep tribal loyalties in check and people scared, but seeing as how Timur was an extremely capable ruler, having another like him straight after him is near-ASB.

The same was true with Genghis Khan, but sir-Temujin's death didn't stop Mongol Expansionism, even if it did lay the seeds for it falling apart after a few more generations.

Sounds like the only possibilty is for babur to succesfully reconquer samarkand and name his dynasty as timurid instead of mughal
