Literary notes about parameters (AI summary)

The term “parameters” is employed in literature to denote the defining factors or constraints that shape systems, processes, and even abstract ideas. In technical narratives, it can refer to set values governing communication protocols and programming settings [1],[2],[3], while in scientific or mathematical discussions it designates measurable quantities or boundaries essential for modeling natural phenomena and designing simulations [4],[5],[6],[7]. In more reflective or philosophical contexts, “parameters” come to represent the underlying conditions—whether environmental, moral, or existential—that frame the behavior of populations or even the universe itself [8],[9],[10]. Thus, across diverse discourses, the word encapsulates both tangible criteria and broader conceptual limits that define how a subject is understood or operates.
