Literary notes about Systematic (AI summary)

The term "systematic" in literature is often used to convey a sense of deliberate, methodical order—whether it describes the rigorous organization of thought in philosophical treatises [1, 2, 3], the structured arrangement of material in scholarly discussions [4, 5, 6], or the premeditated manner in which actions occur in narrative accounts [7, 8, 9]. Authors employ it to underline how ideas or actions are not random but follow a well-defined, meticulously organized process, from the careful regulation of perceptions to the planned execution of events, ultimately linking abstract reasoning with concrete human behavior [10, 11].
