Literary notes about inherent (AI summary)
The term "inherent" is employed to highlight qualities that are essential, permanent, and deeply rooted in the nature of a subject. For instance, it is used to describe an unalterable character or disposition, as in the discussion of a system’s intrinsic nature [1] and a person’s natural rights [2, 3]. It also denotes fundamental limitations or tendencies that appear naturally within various contexts—ranging from the inevitable defects within human constructs [4, 5, 6] to attributes that define characters and institutions [7, 8, 9]. In this way, "inherent" conveys that certain qualities are not imposed externally but are woven into the very fabric of their existence [10, 11, 12].
