Literary notes about Procedure (AI summary)
The word procedure is employed in literature to denote a systematic method or set of actions, whether in a technical, legal, or metaphorical sense. In technical and scientific contexts, authors detail procedures for processes like grafting trees or brewing coffee [1][2][3][4][5], while in legal and judicial writings it refers to established methods of conducting trials or interpreting laws [6][7][8][9][10]. Meanwhile, in more literary works the term conveys personal or abstract manners of handling life’s routines and inner processes [11][12][13][14], and it may even emerge in philosophical discussions where outlining a method becomes central to the argument [15][16][17][18].
