The term "recapture" has been employed in literature with a remarkable range of connotations, from the very concrete to the deeply abstract. In military and strategic contexts, authors use it to denote the reclaiming of positions, forces, or captives—whether it is the restoration of an entire army rather than its destruction in Sunzi's ancient treatise [1, 2], the pursuit of fugitives and the reclamation of camps in historical accounts [3, 4, 5], or even efforts to capture an individual amidst chaos [6, 7]. In contrast, in more introspective or philosophical works, the word becomes a metaphor for attempting to regain lost emotions or original impressions, as seen in Proust's evocative explorations of fleeting sensations [8, 9, 10] and Bergson’s call to reclaim a fresh, unmediated experience [11]. Even in narratives of evasion, such as in Twain's depiction of one avoiding recapture [12], the term subtly conveys a struggle to either retrieve or escape, thereby enriching its literary versatility.
