The word oscillate is often used to convey both a literal and a metaphorical sense of back‐and‐forth motion. In descriptions of physical phenomena, it captures measurable, rhythmic movements—such as a pendulum swinging with precision ([1], [2], [3]), mechanical devices vibrating ([4], [5], [6]), or even figures and structures that seem to waver in space ([7], [8]). At the same time, authors employ oscillate to illustrate shifts in thought or emotion, where opinions, moods, or allegiances swing between extremes or contrasting states ([9], [10], [11]). This dual usage enriches narratives by lending a dynamic quality to both tangible motions and the intangible fluctuations of the human condition ([12], [13], [14]).
