Literary notes about cache (AI summary)
In literature, the word "cache" conveys a rich duality of meaning, serving both as a physical repository for hidden goods and as a symbol of secrecy or reserve. Authors frequently describe a cache as a secret store of supplies or treasures—whether it’s a hidden stash of whiskey that promises a swift escape [1] or a carefully maintained collection of travel provisions meant to sustain an arduous journey [2, 3]. In other narratives, it even expands into more abstract realms, denoting digital or systematic storage meant for efficiency and performance [4, 5]. This varied usage transforms the mundane idea of storing items into a motif loaded with tension, anticipation, and the mystery of the concealed [6, 7].
