The description of the three-nucleon system in terms of nucleon and $\Delta$degrees of freedom is extended to allow for explicit pion production(absorption) from single dynamic $\Delta$ de-excitation (excitation) processes.This mechanism yields an energy dependent effective three-body hamiltonean. TheFaddeev equations for the trinucleon bound state are solved with a force modelthat has already been tested in the two-nucleon system above pion-productionthreshold. The binding energy and other bound state properties are calculated.The contribution to the effective three-nucleon force arising from the pionicdegrees of freedom is evaluated. The validity of previous coupled-channelcalculations with explicit but stable $\Delta$ isobar components in thewavefunction is studied.Comment: 23 pages in Revtex 3.0, 9 figures (not included, available as postscript files upon request), CEBAF-TH-93-0
