Literary notes about SECTOR (AI summary)
The term "sector" in literature is versatile, serving as a descriptor for a clearly defined portion of a whole across a range of disciplines. In mathematical contexts, it designates measurable regions as seen in the calculation of a circular or spherical sector [1, 2]. In economic discourse, it categorizes segments of an economy—such as manufacturing, agriculture, and services—each contributing distinctively to a nation's wealth [3, 4, 5, 6]. Military and geographical accounts use "sector" to denote specific zones of activity or operational regions on the front lines and beyond [7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. Its usage even extends into fiction and technical areas, where it designates areas ranging from galactic territories to integral parts of a computer system like boot sectors [12, 13, 14, 15]. Through these varied manifestations, "sector" consistently represents a distinct part that forms an essential element within a larger system.
