Literary notes about parity (AI summary)

The term "parity" assumes multiple roles across literary contexts. In technical narratives, it is detailed as a setting in data communications—often paired with phrases like "even parity" or "no parity" to denote bits configurations in computing devices [1], [2], [3]. In economic writings, "parity" frequently appears in the form of purchasing power parity, offering a basis for comparing national output and living standards [4], [5], [6]. Meanwhile, its abstract usage emphasizes balance and equality: authors invoke phrases like "parity of reason" or describe a "parity of character" to suggest fairness and harmony in human interactions and poetic expressions [7], [8], [9], [10].
