Literary notes about Convergent (AI summary)
The term "convergent" has been used in literature with a range of meanings depending on the context. In military strategy texts such as those by Baron de Jomini, the adjective is applied to operations that come together in a coordinated manner, as seen in multiple examples where convergent operations are contrasted with divergent ones and evaluated based on their situational effectiveness [1, 2, 3]. In a different context, the word also appears in descriptions of natural forms, for example in botanical works where the convergence of elements like petals is noted [4]. Moreover, its usage extends into mathematical discourse, where a convergent series or progression is defined by its ratio being less than one, distinguishing it from a divergent process [5].
