The term "mass" weaves a rich tapestry in literature, shifting fluidly among meanings that range from the sacred to the physical and collective. In many works, it denotes the solemn religious ceremony integral to liturgical tradition, as seen in Hugo’s portrayal of a sanctified ritual [1] or in the routine observances described by Casanova [2, 3]. Elsewhere, “mass” conveys the idea of an overwhelming bulk or accumulation—whether it is the weighty clump of stones in ancient epics [4] or the vast amount of water and natural forces depicted by Verne [5, 6, 7]. Authors also extend the term metaphorically to encompass large groups or movements, be it the assemblage of people in a society [8, 9] or the metaphorical material from which ideas and social phenomena emerge. This versatile use enriches the word’s resonance across genres and eras.
