Literary notes about monitoring (AI summary)
In various works, the term "monitoring" is employed as a versatile concept that bridges the observational rigor of science with the strategic oversight found in military and bureaucratic contexts. It is used to describe the systematic tracking of natural phenomena over extended periods, as in the careful surveillance of territory or environmental conditions [1][2]. At the same time, authors extend its use to digital and technical realms where systems are designed to continuously check performance or safety parameters [3][4]. In both narrative and technical texts, the word conveys a sense of deliberate, ongoing scrutiny—whether applied to safeguarding borders, ensuring instrumental accuracy, or even in the more subjective realms of personal and organizational vigilance [5][6][7].
