Literary notes about increases (AI summary)
The term "increases" in literature is employed as a dynamic verb that signifies a process of growth, intensification, or expansion across a variety of contexts. In mathematical and scientific texts, it often denotes a quantitative escalation or a direct proportionality—as in when a limit trends upward with an ever-growing variable ([1], [2]). In descriptive narratives, it captures the enhancement of attributes or emotions; for example, characters experience heightened fame, tension, or desire as circumstances unfold ([3], [4], [5]). Meanwhile, in social or economic treatises, "increases" is used to discuss how factors like wealth, labor, or even societal discontent accumulate over time ([6], [7], [8]). Overall, whether representing literal physical expansion, the amplification of sensory experiences, or the escalation of conceptual values, the word "increases" provides a versatile means of articulating progressive change throughout literature ([9], [10]).
