Literary notes about Automorphic (AI summary)

The term "automorphic" is applied in literature to evoke images of self-referential behavior and inherent self-similarity. In certain contexts, it serves to illustrate a concept deeply ingrained in psychological processes, specifically within what is described as lower psychism [1]. In other writings, the term not only finds a role in technical discussions—such as those involving functional studies—but also appears in narrative expressions where it contributes to a portrayal of delusional secrecy in the characters' perceptions [2]. Moreover, its usage in academic discourses further underscores its versatility in describing both technical phenomena and more abstract, introspective qualities [3].
