The word “neutral” has served as a versatile descriptor in literature, applied in varying contexts to express a state of in-betweenness, balance, or impartiality. In scientific and natural observations, for instance, it describes both subtle hues and physical states—such as a “neutral kind of manner” ([1]) or the “neutral flavor” of coffee ([2], [3], [4])—highlighting qualities that are neither extreme nor particularly marked. In philosophical and methodological discourse, “neutral” is used to denote an absence of bias or affect, from the detached tone of an individual ([5], [6], [7]) to the strategic positioning of nations remaining aloof from conflict ([8], [9], [10], [11]). Thus, across various genres—from scientific treatises and coffee connoisseurship to political commentary and literary characterizations—the term lends itself to describing objects, attitudes, and even political stances as balanced and uncolored by particular extremes ([12], [13]).
