The term “label” exhibits a remarkable versatility in literature. In some narratives, it appears as a physical marker—a brief inscription on a letter-box stating “Return shortly” [1] or a small sticker on beer bottles in whimsical settings [2, 3]—emphasizing its role in everyday life and commerce. In other contexts, particularly within heraldic treatises, the label becomes an essential device in signifying familial or institutional difference, as seen in the intricate descriptions of coats of arms where it differentiates one branch from another [4, 5, 6]. Authors also employ “label” metaphorically; it represents the man-made impositions of identity and value, whether as a means to categorize individuals or objects, as observed in the ironic commentary on societal branding [7, 8, 9]. Even in puzzles and mathematical recreations, a label might denote a numerical inscription that invites further reflection on order and meaning [10, 11]. Thus, across diverse narratives and genres, the word “label” functions both as a literal signifier and a deeper symbol of distinction in human relationships and cultural practices.
