Literary notes about Proliferate (AI summary)
The term "proliferate" is employed in literature to convey rapid multiplication or expansion across a diverse range of contexts. In biological and medical writing, it describes how cells and tissues multiply, as when spermatogonia multiply in a seasonal cycle [1] or when nerve structures develop through rapid growth [2]. In other works, the word captures the spreading of phenomena—whether it be survival scenarios multiplying in dystopian narratives [3], online discussions expanding across new digital platforms [4], or even the spreading of economic constructs such as brand names and monopolistic practices [5, 6]. It can also be used metaphorically to represent the vibrant, almost uncontrollable emergence of ideas in creative prose [7] or describe the physical growth seen in certain botanical processes [8].
