Across a range of literary works, the term "compute" appears not only in its literal sense of calculation but also as a vehicle for metaphor and rhetorical flourish. In some texts, it is employed in a straightforward, almost technical manner—such as tallying savings or calculating percentages ([1], [2], [3])—while in others it takes on a more abstract or even ironic tone. For instance, authors use "compute" to highlight the folly of trying to grasp immense or unknowable quantities—be it the immensity of the universe or the ineffable qualities of divine figures ([4], [5], [6]). Moreover, it often serves to underscore the limitations of human knowledge when applied to vast or mystical subjects, as seen in the hesitant computations of natural phenomena ([7], [8], [9]) and the satirical comparisons of human and divine attributes ([10], [11]). This multifaceted usage points to a rich literary tradition where "compute" bridges the realms of empirical measurement and philosophical contemplation ([12], [13]).
