Literary notes about Synergy (AI summary)
In literature, "synergy" often functions as a metaphor for harmonious interplay, where distinct elements combine to produce a result greater than their individual contributions. In some works, it denotes the coordinated effort between physical actions and mysterious forces ([1]), while in others, it encapsulates a desired social cooperation ([2]). The term may also refer to precise functional coordination, such as that between ocular or muscular activities ([3], [4]), or be used to highlight the convergence of various actions toward a unified purpose ([5]). Its usage ranges from describing tangible, technical processes to capturing the abstract, sometimes unpredictable, outcomes of combined efforts ([6], [7], [8], [9]).
